  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 2 cups chopped mango
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 2/3 cup shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Spray a loaf pan with nonstick baking spray, or alternatively, grease and flour the pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Create a well in the center of the combined dry ingredients.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  4. Incorporate wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the well made in the dry ingredients. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine everything into a smooth batter.
  5. Fold in add-ins: Carefully fold in the chopped mango, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter without overmixing.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula if necessary. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean indicating it is fully cooked.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 to 7 minutes. Then invert the loaf onto a cooling rack or plate and remove the pan. Allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm mangoes to get the best texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute pecans with walnuts or leave out the nuts for a nut-free version.
  • For added moisture, you can brush the top of the loaf with a thin layer of melted butter right after baking.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • Make sure to not overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients to keep the bread tender.
