  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

For the Crumble Topping (optional)

  • 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose plain flour
  • 3 tablespoons (15g) shredded coconut
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons (22g) vegan butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons (19g) granulated sugar

For the Mango Bread

  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose plain flour, spooned and leveled
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional, for color)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • ~1 1/4 cups (300g) mango puree (approximately 2 large very ripe mangos or 2 cups chopped mangos)
  • 1/3 cup (85g) dairy-free milk
  • 1/3 cup (85g) neutral flavored oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ~3/4 cup (120g) diced mango (optional, about 1 small ripe mango)

Instructions

  1. Make the crumble topping (optional): In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, shredded coconut, melted vegan butter, and sugar. Mix using a spoon or your fingertips until the mixture is flaky and crumbly. Set this topping aside in the fridge until ready to use.
  2. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F). Line or grease an 8-inch (20 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring some paper overhangs the sides for easy removal. Note that a longer pan will reduce baking time slightly.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, turmeric powder (if using), and salt until well combined and lump-free.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Pour the mango puree, dairy-free milk, neutral oil, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Fold in diced mango: Gently fold the diced mango pieces into the batter to distribute evenly without breaking them down.
  6. Transfer batter to pan and add crumble: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. If using, sprinkle the refrigerated crumble topping evenly over the batter.
  7. Bake the bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, but no wet batter.
  8. Cool the bread: Allow the bread to rest in the loaf pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps it set and makes slicing easier.
  9. Serve: Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the mango bread. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.
  10. Store leftovers: Keep any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days, or refrigerate for up to 3 days. You can also freeze portions for up to one month. Warm before serving for a freshly baked taste.

Notes

  • Using very ripe mangoes enhances the natural sweetness and flavor intensity in the bread.
  • The turmeric powder is optional and mainly added to give the bread a vibrant yellow color.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb and avoid toughness in the bread.
  • The crumble topping is optional but adds a delightful texture and flavor contrast.
  • If you don’t have dairy-free milk, any plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat milk works well.
  • To check doneness, insert a toothpick in the center; some moist crumbs are acceptable since this is a moist bread.
  • Adjust sugar amounts to your preference, especially if your mangoes are very sweet.
