Banana Mango Bread
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 2 ripe bananas, mashed
– 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1/3 cup vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, diced mango, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough loaf.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
7. Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Slice the Banana Mango Bread and serve it slightly warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a spread of butter.
