Mango and avocado are a very seasonal fruit in the Caribbean. They are both in their peak season during the summer months so combine them in this unique tropical-tasting and moist bread. I found some great Mango and avocado this weekend at my local farmers market, so it was a great time to make this bread, I adjusted it a bit by adding some greek yogurt which made it pretty moist. It’s sure to be a winner! Serve warm with mango butter or greek yogurt as a treat with your morning coffee.
Servings: 2 loaves
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour 1⁄2 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1⁄2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1⁄2 tsp. salt
1⁄2 cup butter or margarine
1 3⁄4 cups sugar
3 eggs1 cup mashed mango (2 very ripe mangoes)
1 cup mashed avocado (4 ripe avocados)
1⁄2 cup chopped nuts
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350o F (180o C). Grease two loaf pans well.
Sift together both flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time and whisk until light and fluffy.
Mix the mango and avocado puree together. Fold the dry ingredients into the fruit puree. Mix in the nuts and vanilla extract.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans and bake for 1 hour, or until a
knife inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Cool the loaves for 10 to 15 minutes in the pan before removing and
cooling completely on a wire rack.
