🥘 Ingredients
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.
Eggs- Use eggs to help bind the bread together so that it isn't too crumbly when sliced.
Oil- You will want to use some canola or vegetable oil to help the bread stay moist.
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.
Vanilla- This is a flavor enhancer.
Flour- The gluten structure and base of this recipe is all purpose flour.
Leavening agents- To help the bread puff up and rise properly as it bakes, you will need both Baking powder and Baking soda.
Salt- A natural flavor enhancer.
Spices- You will need a combination of ground ginger, cinnamon, and ground cloves for a warm spice in every slice.
Fresh Mango- You will need some fresh and ripe mangos for this recipe.

🍴 Recipe Tips
For this Hawaiian banana bread, you'll want to make sure that the mango you use is nice and ripe, if it's too underripe, it may not cook thoroughly in the batter and could be a bit harder to chew instead of being a softer piece of fruit (like we want it to be.)
The mango should be peeled and diced into pieces smaller than 1 cubic inch. This will keep them from getting too big to cook and will allow them to be more bite-sized. The key to this banana mango bread recipe is good mangos.
💭 FAQs
