There is nothing like fresh baked bread for breakfast. This low fat bread uses one of my favorite tropical fruits, the mango. The addition of coconut flakes gives this bread a tropical flair. I love this with a smear of mango butter!!
For those of you who have never baked bread before, this is very simple to make. The only appliance I used was a blender to purée the mango. The rest was mixed by hand.

I liked this a lot! I did convert for high altitude by adding a tad more flour, it probably would have been fine without it. Will definitely make this again!
My batter was somewhat dry (not pourable at all), the loaf hardly rose and I couldn’t find any mango flavor at all. Do you think reducing the puree first and substituting dried mango for the coconut might increase the mango flavor?
I never would have thought to put mango into a quick bread, but this was very moist and the flavors worked together surprisingly well.
Please tell me what you mean by coconut flakes? Â Will unsweetened desiccated coconut work?
again having trouble why my recipe builder is higher, i even left out the coconut
1 c flour is 13pts
1 c whole wheat flour is 11pts
1/2 c sugar is 24pts
2 T butter is 10 pts
1/4 c walnuts is 6 pts
divided by 16 and i get 4 pts per slice (no coconut and still higher)
It says 2cups flour and then 2cups of wheat could I just use Bobs Red Mill Flour for both of theses measurements? Since I cannot have the wheat- to make this gluten free this sounds so divine for my taste!
Sure!
Want a replacement of egg as I’m a vegetarian. Please mail me a substitute. Thx!Â
Hey. The recipe says to POUR the batter. But mine isn't pourable at all. It's probably closer to a dough. And there are no pictures of this step.
Does this sound right?
I love the looks of your blog and all your recipes, and I have already written a few down that I might give a go 🙂
Is it OK for you if I posted some of the recipes from your blog as long as I link back to your original one?
