Tropical storm Andrea cast quite a few clouds over the Atlanta sky today making it very hard for the sun to shine through. However, nothing screams sunshine and summer like mangoes, which I had a whole box of. And here is what I though of doing with some of them.
When the sun don't shine make mango bread.
This turned out delicious and it goes so well with a cup of milk. Here are the ingredients I used:
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tb spoon each baking soda and baking powder
a pinch of salt
pureed pulp from 3 small mangoes
1 tb spoon vanilla extract
juice from one lemon
1 egg
1/4 cup oil (I used coconut)
1 addition mango cut into chunks (They can be incorporated in the batter instead of sprinkled on top.)
a little more sugar to sprinkle on top
unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)
Mix dry ingredients together. In a separated bowl mix mango pulp, vanilla extract, egg, oil, lemon juice. Add wet ingredients to the dry ones. I reserved the unsweetened coconut flakes and mango chunks and placed them on top of the batter once in the pan, but you can very well mix them in. Just remember to toss them with some flour so they don't sink at the bottom of your pan.
