This week’s recipe for Mango Bread was chosen by Kelly of Baking with the Boys. Since we are not really mango fans, I decided to go ahead with the TwD recipe and just make some drastic changes! I was actually not going to make this recipe, but since I flubbed last week’s tart, I figured I would at least attempt something using the basic ingredients and method from Dorie’s recipe and just substitute the mango for other tropical fruits and flavors.
Here is what I did:
1.) I chopped two 8 ounce cans of pineapple and drained them very well; squeezing the juice through cheese cloth.
2.) Folded in 2 mashed bananas and 2/3 cup sweetened flaked coconut.
3.) Added 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
4.) Baked in mini loaves.
This resulted in some damn good bread, it was a little sweet, so next time I will cut back on the sugar due to the added fruit and coconut. the breadbaked up beautifully in the mini loaf pans and tasted amazing when slathered with a pat of butter! I will definitely make this recipe again! Head over to the TwD site to check out more versions of this tropical treat!

YUM! I love the changes you made! Sounds great!
Those are some yummy changes!! I added sme pecans and shredded coconut to the mix, all my muffins were gone by 9.30 am….. I guess that’s a good sign, it must mean the coworkers liked them
great additions! sounds like a tropical treat.
Your bread looks great. And the flavor combo gets a thumbs up from me.
Pineapple banana and coconut bread sounds super delicious! I would love a slice for breakfast right now!
That combintaion sounds so delicious!!
These look great! I love the change in flavor.
Love your changes. Looks tasty!
LOVE the changes you made here! So summery and tropical. It looks delicious!
I was JUST thinking this morning about how coconut would go so well in this bread! I LOVED this recipe! I am glad you did, too! Yours looks gorgeous!
Oh wow, this sounds SO good. I made banana bread last weekend, but now I wish I had had this recipe then!
Your substitutions sound great. I added coconut in mine, too, and liked it but did feel it overpowered the mango a bit (of course, I was short on mango, so that was a factor, too.)
I just made a bannana, coconut and pineapple bread from a new hawaiian cookbook I got, and it was a super flop – the recipe called for 1/2 tbsp salt, and I went with it despite my hesitations – WRONG. Otherwise, I think it would be a good combo.
I bet that was fabulous!!!
Great substitutes!
What awesome flavor combinations! Seriously, I need to try this. I love everything banana. Great subs for the mango (which I would not put in a bread again myself.)
Wow, those flavors sound great together! I am definitely going to try this combination
Your mini loaf looks beautiful
I have to admit that your bread looks and sounds so much better than the regular bread. Not that I don’t like mangos but spiced bread with mangos thrown in just doesn’t do it for me.
Congrats to the winner!

Congrats to Michelle! I love the changes that you made to this bread. It’s fabulous. Of course, my favorite part is your addition of the pineapple and coconut. Man oh man, I bet that added SUPER flavor. I can’t wait to try out your version of this bread.
Your mini-loaves look soo cute and tasty! I think the mini-loaves turn out better than the regular sized loaf.
Looks delicious! I love how you tweaked it!
These are the cutest mini-loaves!!! I love them.
I know I’m in good company when I tell you how cute those minis are!! Great job.
I really liked the mango variation, but yours looks wonderful. Might have to try it out!
Great subs to a great loaf. This is a great basic loaf and I can imagine it would go perfectly with lots of fruits – like yours.
Lovely loaf.
What as great sounding quick bread!
This combo of ingredients sound fabulous! (Sounds better than the original in my personal opinion.
Where is the recipe to this bread? I feel like i need to bake it right now but i do not see the recipe anywhere
