Ingredients

  • 3 medium ripe bananas
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup mango juice/nectar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ripe mango cut into chunks
  • sanding sugar or, in my case, large sugar sprinkles :)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a 9x5 loaf pan with nonstick spray, then flour.
  • In a large mixing bowl, roughly mash the bananas. You don't want total mush, so leave some little chunks! Add the brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and mango juice, and whisk to incorporate.
  • Sift in the flours, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, and use a wooden spoon to mix. Mix in the mango chunks.
  • Transfer the batter to your prepared pan, and sprinkle with your sugar. Bake for about 45 minutes in the lower third of your oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a couple crumbs.
  • When done, do not take out of the oven immediately, as it will cause the banana bread to "fall" and become very dense and tough. What I did is I opened my oven door all the way and let my pan rest on the door, so the temperature difference wouldn't be as severe.
  • Once cooled completely, wrap tightly in plastic wrap! Keep at room temperature for up to 5 days. But, I do advise eating a warm slice as soon as you can... :)
