Mango Banana Bread
Bestanddele
- 1 koppie Mango - fresh, ripe, diced into small cubes
- 1 koppie Fyngemaakte piesang - about 3 medium yellow/ripe bananas, peeled, mashed (note 1)
- ⅓ koppie Kokosuiker - (aantekening 2)
- ⅓ koppie Kokosmelk - (aantekening 3)
- ⅓ koppie Gesmelte klapperolie - (note 4), cooled at room temperature
- 1 teelepel Vanielje-ekstrak
- 2 koppies Bruismeel - (aantekening 5)
- 1 teelepel Kaneel
- ½ koppie Makadamia neute - (note 5), finely chopped
instruksies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Lightly oil the paper. Set aside.
- Slice off both sides of the mango, cutting around the flat pit in the center.
- With each half, use a small, sharp knife to score the flesh in a crisscross pattern, creating a grid of 0.2-inch cubes (0.5 cm). Be sure not to cut through the skin.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop out the diced mango from the skin. Set aside in a bowl.
- Peel and mash the bananas using a fork. Measure the exact amount required by the recipe: 1 cup of mashed bananas. If you have leftovers, freeze them in Ziploc bags and use them in a smoothie later.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, sugar, coconut milk, oil, and vanilla extract, if used. Whisk until well combined.
- Stir in the self-raising flour, cinnamon, and stir with a rubber spatula until a thick batter forms.
- Fold in fresh mango cubes and chopped macadamia, and stir gently to incorporate the fruit and nuts evenly.
- Transfer the banana bread batter into the loaf pan. If you like, press pieces of extra mango on top to decorate.
- Bake the bread on the center rack for 50-55 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the bread comes out clean or with only a tiny crumb on it. Foil the loaf pan after 30 minutes if the top starts to brown too fast.
- Let it cool down for 10 minutes in the pan at room temperature, then lift the hanging part of the parchment paper to release the bread onto a cooling rack.
- Let the bread cool for about 1-2 hours before slicing into 12 slices.

Bestanddele en vervangings
Jy benodig slegs 'n paar eenvoudige bestanddele om hierdie resep te maak. Hier is hoe om hulle te kies en te ruil.

- Mango – This fruit brings a sweet, tropical flavor and a lovely moist texture to the bread. It’s important to use fresh, ripe mangoes, diced into small cubes. If you prefer peaches, try my Perske Piesangbrood.
- Fyngemaakte piesang – This is the base of the banana bread, providing natural sweetness, moisture, and its signature flavor. For a sweeter and moister bread, use very ripe bananas with black spots.
- Kokosuiker – This adds sweetness to the bread. You can also use other granulated sweeteners like brown sugar, adjust the amount to your preference, or even omit it if your bananas are very ripe.
- Kokosmelk – This contributes to the bread’s moisture and gives it a subtle tropical richness. Canned or packaged coconut milk works, and you can also use other plant-based milks like soy milk or almond milk.
- Gesmelte klapperolie – This provides fat, making the bread tender and moist. Any low-flavor oil, such as light olive oil or light avocado oil, also works well.
- Vanielje-ekstrak – This enhances the overall flavor profile of the banana bread with its warm, sweet notes.
- Bruismeel – This forms the structure of the bread and already contains leavening agents for a good rise. For a gluten-free option, use my glutenvrye omskakelaar, maar moenie die bakpoeier vergeet nie.
- Kaneel – This spice adds a warm, comforting aroma and flavor that complements the fruits.
- Makadamia neute – These add a lovely crunch and a buttery, nutty flavor to the bread. You can swap them for unsweetened shredded coconut, pecans, or even chocolate chips, or leave them out entirely.
How to Make Mango Banana Bread
This bread is really easy to whip up. Here’s how in a few pictures.

Mash the bananas in a bowl and measure the exact amount needed.

Add the other liquid ingredients and the sugar and stir to combine.

Incorporate the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Transfer to the loaf pan.

Bake the bread on the center rack for 50-55 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
Carine se Bakwenke
Let me share a few more tips for a perfect tropical banana bread.
- Choose Right Bananas – For the sweetest and moistest banana bread, pick bananas with plenty of black spots on their skin. If you prefer a less sweet bread, yellow ripe bananas also work.
- Optimal Oil Temp – After melting your coconut oil, make sure it cools down to room temperature before mixing it with the other liquid ingredients. This prevents it from solidifying too quickly in the batter.
- Moenie oormeng nie – When stirring in the flour, and especially when folding in the mango and macadamia nuts, mix gently until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a tough bread.
- Foil for Browning – Keep an eye on your bread during baking. If the top starts to brown too quickly before the inside is fully cooked, loosely tent the loaf pan with foil after about 30 minutes.
- Verkoeling – Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting it out onto a cooling rack. Then, allow it to cool for a good 1 to 2 hours on the rack before slicing. This helps the bread set properly and prevents it from crumbling.
- Suikervrye Opsie – If your bananas are ultra-ripe with black skins, you can completely skip the added sugar in the recipe. The natural sweetness from the fruit will be enough for a tasty bread.
- Decorate with Mango – Use any leftover mango flesh around the flat pit to cut tiny slices. You can press these onto the top of the banana bread batter before baking for a pretty decoration.








It is delicious! The only reason I give it only a the amount of cinnamon in the recipe, no matter what I always double the amount of cinnamon in a recipe just because I like cinnamon and no one has ever thought there was too much. Instead of cinnamon I usually use pumpkin pie spice or apple spice mix because it already has the perfect blend of spices mixed together.
Thanks for the lovely feedback!
Such a lovely cake. Followed the recipe but did use half light olive oil half coconut oil and baked 180 c fan forced but only 45 minutes as my oven is rather hot. Perfect outcome, not too sweet and so moist. Thankyou.
It sounds delicious, thanks for trying my recipe.
can I use wholewheatflour
You can swap them, but since whole wheat flour absorbs more moisture and is denser, it’s best to start by replacing only 50% of the all-purpose flour. If you do a full swap, add about two teaspoons of extra liquid per cup of flour and let the batter rest for 15 minutes to ensure a soft texture
Was mal oor dit!
Dankie !
Dit het presies gewerk soos geskryf, dankie!
Hi, I just want to know if I can use oat flour in the recipe.
Dankie!
No, it will be packed and dense.
