Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 3 large eggs
• 1 mango - peeled, seeded, and chopped
• 0.25 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup toasted shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup mashed banana

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 2

Sift flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl.

Step 3

Purée 1/4 of chopped mango in a food processor or blender. It should yield about 1/2 cup puréed mango and set aside. Reserve remaining chopped mango.

Step 4

Combine butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a small bowl until blended. Mix in eggs and vanilla extract. Fold into dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in remaining chopped mango, puréed mango, banana, coconut, and walnuts. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes.
