Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
4 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp iodized salt
1½ cups whole milk
1 large egg
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla, almond, or coconut extract
2 tsp lime zest
½ cup mango puree (from about ½ a mango)
1 cup finely diced mango (plus more for garnish, optional)
½ cup sweetened flaked coconut
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and your choice of extract (vanilla, almond, or coconut) until smooth.
Add the lime zest, mango puree, and finely diced mango to the wet ingredients. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
Fold in the sweetened flaked coconut, giving the batter a few more gentle stirs.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. If desired, sprinkle additional diced mango on top for garnish.
Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure your mangoes are ripe for the best flavor. Overripe mangoes are perfect for the puree.
Do not overmix when combining wet and dry ingredients to keep the bread tender.
Allow the bread to cool completely to ensure it slices cleanly.
