Mango bread, also known as Pan De Mango, is a sweet bread originating from the Philippines. Unlike traditional bread, this recipe incorporates fresh mangoes for a sweet, tropical twist. The chewy texture of the mango chunks contrasts nicely with the light, fluffy bread. The cinnamon and dried cherries add a depth of flavor that makes this bread a little more complex than other sweet bread recipes. This bread is a wonderful addition to any breakfast or brunch spread, but can also be enjoyed as an afternoon snack with a cup of tea or coffee on the side.

1.Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2.In a medium bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
3.Stir in the drained cherries to the flour mixture and set aside.
4.In a large bowl, beat together sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.
5.Beat in the oil and vanilla.
6.Gradually stir in the flour mixture until just blended.
7.Fold in the chopped mangoes and lemon juice.
8.Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
9.Cool bread in pan for 10 minutes, then remove and place on wire rack to cool completely.

PROS

Mango bread is a delicious and unique way to enjoy a sweet tropical fruit.
The addition of cinnamon and dried cherries give this bread a complex flavor profile.

This recipe is easy to make and can be quickly whipped up for breakfast or an afternoon snack.

CONS

This bread is quite sweet due to the combination of sugar and mango, making it best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Mango bread also contains a fair amount of sugar and oil, which increases the calorie count and fat content of each slice.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Mango is known for its high levels of antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins A and C. These nutrients can aid in digestion, fighting off infection, and reducing inflammation in the body.
However, this bread recipe also contains a fair amount of sugar and oil, which can counteract some of the health benefits of the mango.
