    Tropical Mango Banana Bread is Delicious and Easy

    September 22, 2019 Filed Under: Breads, Quick Bread

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    This Mango Banana Bread recipe makes a moist and delicious banana bread loaded with chopped dried mangoes. 

    This Tropical Mango Banana Bread is a delicious, but simple, twist on ordinary banana bread.

     

    I got this recipe years ago from my sister-in-law, Melanie and it became an instant family favorite.

    The dried mangoes not only add color, but incredible sweetness. And there is one more secret ingredient: a bit of grated lemon zest! I would never have thought to add it, but it adds a subtle citrus note that perfectly complements the other ingredients.

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour
    • 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ⅓ cup shortening
    • ⅔ cups sugar
    • ¾ teaspoons grated lemon zest
    • 1 to 1 ½ cup mashed bananas (about 2-3 bananas)
    • 1 or 2 eggs (if you have 1 cup of bananas use 2 eggs, 1 ½ cup bananas use 1 egg)
    • ⅓ cup dried mangoes (chopped)

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease one 8 ½ x 4 ½ inch bread pan (or two smaller ones)
    • In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt with a whisk.
    • In a larger bowl, beat shortening, sugar and lemon zest together until creamy. Beat in eggs and bananas.
    • Add the flour in 2 equal parts beating until smooth. Add mangoes.
    • Pour into prepared bread pan and bake in preheated oven until brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, approximately 40 minutes for small pans and 60 minutes for regular bread pan.

    Notes

    The amount of eggs and bananas may seem a bit confusing as listed in the recipe. You need more eggs if you have less banana and less eggs if you have more bananas for the moisture content. I made it with two bananas, which was about one cup, so I needed two eggs.

    Until next time, happy eating.
