I've never baked with mango before and was excited about this week's
Tuesday with Dorie recipe when I first saw it was selected. Sure enough, this recipe delivered. This quick bread is simple and easy to throw together and packs a lot of flavor- cinnamon, ginger, lime zest, and mango (am I the only one who thinks of SNL every time I see the word "Mango?")
I skipped the raisins in favor of walnuts. The one run in I had with the recipe was my stingy mango- it only gave me half the fruit the recipe called for. I just ended up halving the recipe and baking it in a smaller pan. It worked great and was delicious. I did have to tent the cake to keep it from over browning but it was yummy and quick and a recipe I'll come back to (though probably with a little less ginger and some different fruits- apple maybe next time?) Thanks Kelly for a fun choice that everyone loved.
Stop by her blog for the recipe and enjoy!

Yeah....I probably should have put a tent over mine! Glad that you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThe bread looks good! I'm glad you liked it. I was thinking of adding apples to mine too next time.
ReplyDeleteYeah, what's up with the "hairy" mango? Still, the bread was good. I made a lot of healthy changes to mine and it still turned out great. Looks yummy, Anne.
ReplyDeleteMmmm I love the idea of adding walnuts! I LOVE LOVE LOVED this bread! Yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteI also left out the raisins. The walnuts sound like a great addition!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using nuts in it. Looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe bread looks great! Wish I could have a slice!
ReplyDeleteI think there were a few of us thinking of mango on SNL!
ReplyDeleteSo glad everyone loved this, Anne! It looks delicious. We really enjoyed this here too, and I bet that it would be great with nuts!
ReplyDeleteOhhh looks lovely, and great blog!
ReplyDeletePeople were twittering about Mango bread all day yesterday and I couldn't figure out what all if was about. Finally makes sense though!

The mango looks great in your bread! And I was giggling a lot remembering the 'Mango' skits from SNL!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it. Your mango bread looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI skipped the raisins too.
ReplyDeleteMy son took forever to eat his piece because he was picking out all the strings.
I keep finding so many great ideas for other additions. Yum, walnuts sound good. Your pictures look delicious.
ReplyDeleteNo, I think of Ze Mango, too! I added walnuts, and the bread was a hit at my house. And I just got a look at your previous post, and those little heart ramekins are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI totally thought of Mango from SNL, too! See my blog :-) Great pics!
ReplyDeleteI thought of SNL, too. While I was making the batter and my husband asked about it, I couldn't resist saying, "You canna have the mango!" Yours looks delish!
ReplyDeletegood substitute for the raisens - a no go for me too! and everyone seems to have come up short on the mango!
ReplyDeleteI added nuts too. I thought it just went with this bread better. I love the streaks of mango in your bread- so pretty!
ReplyDeleteAnd about all the butter in next week's recipe- I just bake the full recipe as is and took it to a large gettogether! Everyone raved and I didn't have to deal with all the calories.
As I live in mango country, Mexico, I love them. I make mango salsa, chutney, you name it. I was excited about this recipe. Your bread looks delicious. I used slivered almonds and no raisins. There are many varieties and some mangos are not so stringy. The Great Mango Book by Allen Susser is a good resource. This is a keeper recipe for me.
ReplyDeleteYour little Mango bread slices look so happy on your Strawberry Red plate. I accidentally left mine in the oven a bit too long. I wasn't paying close attention, oops. Still it was moist in spite of my shortcomings. WooHoo. So, I'll definitely try this recipe again and I would love to add walnuts or pecans. I think that would be delish. Glad you enjoyed, even with the hairy mango. LOL

Ooooh fun idea to play around with some other fruits! I bet this bread would be fantastic with many things. Yours looks delicious! I loved this recipe.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah...I thought of Mango/SNL during the entire making of this recipe. Too funny! It looks wonderful. Yeah for nuts!
ReplyDeleteThis bread looks totally delicious! I like that you subbed nuts in place of the raisins...totally a move I would have made as well. So glad you liked this bread so much; I'm definitely craving mango now.
ReplyDeleteGreat job. Good call on leaving out the raisins!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! Walnuts would taste great in it. Great photos!!
ReplyDeleteLooks delish, Anne! I also passed on the raisins and opted for walnuts. We really liked this one a lot (though I disagreed with Dorie and thought it was better warm from the oven).
ReplyDeleteI actually added minced ginger to mine and it added a little extra kick. Loved the flavor. Took two mangos for the full recipe.
ReplyDeleteYours looks just perfect.
I loved Mango on SNL! He was hilarious! :) Glad this turned out so well!
ReplyDeleteI love the platter you served your great looking bread on. It really brings out the bread! Well done.
ReplyDeleteYou inspired me to make this yesterday, Anne! I make a lot of quickbreads for nibbling, and I love mango--but I, too, had never baked with it. I subbed a little bit of King Arthur whole wheat flour--so yummy! My husband was skeptical, but had two slices this morning. Ha! Thanks, Anne!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! And I thought of SNL too!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love how dark and moist yours turned out - gorgeous!
