🍯 Why This Recipe Works
- It's easy to make. Made with basic pantry staples like flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and sugar, this bread recipe is pretty convenient for using up the ripe bananas on your counter.
- Quick assembly. We make the batter for this banana bread pretty quickly and easily. Add something to the bowl, mix, add something else, mix again, etc. The bake time is around one hour, but the assembly only takes a few short minutes. It's almost as fast to prep as our One Bowl Chocolate Chip Banana Bread.
- It's a great change of pace. While we love banana bread, adding new ingredients to the mix always gives us a fresh perspective. Mangos, bananas, and spices are a great way to enjoy your favorite snack in a new way.
🥘 Ingredients
Ingredient Notes:
Ripe bananas- You will need some ripe and ready to use bananas. This means that they are yellow with brown spots or are so ripe that they're black in color. The darker the color, the better the flavor and natural sweetness will be.
If you still have ripe bananas, try our Pancake Mix Banana Bread, Banana Oreo Milkshake, and Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats.
Sugars- You will need both granualted sugar as well as brown sugar to help this bread turn out sweet and tender with a nice depth of flavor.
Leavening agents- To help the bread puff up and rise properly as it bakes, you will need both Baking powder and Baking soda.
Fresh Mango- You will need some fresh and ripe mangos for this recipe.

🍴 Recipe Tips
- Choosing Ripe Mangoes- Ensure the mangoes used in this Hawaiian banana bread are ripe. Underripe mangoes may not cook thoroughly in the batter, resulting in a tougher texture.
- Preparation Tip- Peel and dice the mangoes into pieces smaller than 1 cubic inch. This ensures they cook evenly and become bite-sized within the bread. The quality of the mangos is key to the success of this banana mango bread recipe.

These turned out soooo good! They are so soft, and not too sweet. I actually made them as large cupcakes. I doubled the recipe, and I ended up with 18 of them! I'm definitely making them again. Thank you very much for the recipe! ❤️
