Step 1: Preheat and Prepare 

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease two small loaf pans (8×4 inches) or one larger pan. Line with parchment paper if you prefer easy removal. 

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients 

In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Use a whisk to thoroughly combine the dry ingredients. This ensures even mixing later. 

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients 

In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the oil (or melted butter) and vanilla extract. Stir in the mango puree or chopped fresh mango. 

Step 4: Bring It Together 

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix! Overmixing can lead to a denser loaf. 

Step 5: Fill the Pans 

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans. Tap them gently on the counter to remove air bubbles. 

Step 6: Bake 

Place in the preheated oven (oven to 350 degrees) and bake for 45–55 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it’s done! 

Step 7. Cool 

  • Let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. 
  • Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. 

Serving Ideas 

  • Warm with a pat of butter 
  • Lightly toasted for breakfast 
  • As a sweet side to brunch 
  • With a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert 

Storage 

  • Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. 
  • Refrigerator: It will last up to a week when kept in the fridge. 
  • Freezer: Wrap tightly and freeze for longer storage. Thaw at room temperature. 

Tips for Perfect Mango Bread 

  • Measuring cups: Always use proper measuring cups for dry and liquid ingredients for accuracy. 
  • Ripe mango: The riper, the better! Overripe mangoes add extra sweetness and moisture. 
  • Room temperature ingredients: Make sure eggs and butter are at room temperature for better mixing. 
  • Mango puree: If you prefer a smoother texture, blend your mango into a mango puree before adding it.
