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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
