Moist Mango Bread

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

2 cups

Baking powder

1 teaspoon

Baking soda

1 teaspoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon

Granulated sugar

1 cup

Vegetable oil

1/2 cup

Eggs

2 large

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Ripe mangoes

2 medium, peeled, pitted, and diced

Chopped nuts (optional)

1/2 cup

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan to ensure the bread releases easily.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, mash the diced ripe mangoes using a fork or potato masher until smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
4. Add the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed mangoes. Stir well until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
5. Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
6. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added crunch and flavor.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even bake.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully baked.
9. Once baked, remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Slice and serve the mango bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it plain, or spread with a little butter for an extra indulgent treat.
