Tuesdays with Dorie - Mango Bread

This week is a fresh mango bread, chosen by Kelly, of the cute blog, "Baking with Boys". It's a very moist quick bread full of mango pieces and raisins. It's quite simple to make, and the recipe makes a huge loaf of bread. This is something that would be good for breakfast, or dessert.

I didn't make any major changes to the recipe, though I did use dried cranberries instead of raisins since that's what I had at home. Also, I added a bit of finely diced fresh apple to boost up the fruit factor. And, I added some lime juice for a bit of extra flavor.

The bread was really tasty and Dave especially enjoyed it because he loves mangos. Please see Kelly's blog for the full recipe: http://bakingwiththeboys.wordpress.com/2009/05/19/twd-my-fresh-mango-bread-well-my-pick-anyway/

Also, please check-out the other Tuesday with Dorie bakers and their creations. http://tuesdayswithdorie.wordpress.com/
And... I couldn't do a post on a mango recipe without sharing a photo of our cat Mango. This is Mango and her favorite toy mouse.

  3. Love the picture of 'mango' and her mouse.

    Thank you for sharing the recipe, I look forward to making this when I see the next lot of mangoes. It would be a great change from the usual banana bread loaf for a breakfast treat.

  12. Mmm, I bet the addition of apple made this bread even more deliciously moist. And I love the sub of dried cranberries for raisins. Your bread turned out beautifully! Great job.
