Sugar Free Mango & Banana Bread Loaf.

I came up with this sugar-free mango and banana bread recipe as I felt we were having too many sugary things lately, and I’m also really trying to control the amount of sugar my toddler has each day. I had a couple of ripen mangos sitting around, and I thought why not try to make something healthy to have as a snack or for breakfast. I must admit the first couple of trials were not very successful, but I finally got the right amounts for this delicious and healthy mango & banana bread! It’s so moist and tender inside, but a bit thicker than a usual cake. Although it has no sugar, it’s quite sweet from the fruits and the chopped mango cubes inside give it a nice freshness on every bite.

Ingredients & How-to

Ingredients for sugar-free mango & banana bread.

The main ingredients for this sugar-free bread are mango, banana, flour, eggs and vegetable oil. As it doesn’t have any other sweeteners, you will need to use a ripe mango and banana. If your banana or mango are not ripened yet, then you can put them in the microwave for 15 seconds or put them in the oven for half an hour at 150°C/300°F. In either case, let them cool down at room temperature or in the fridge for a bit before continuing with the recipe.

After peeling and removing the stone from the mango fruit, I cut half of it into cubes and put the other half in a mini chopper along with the banana. I blend well the fruits until I get a nice smooth texture like purée and then put the mixture in a big bowl. Then I add the three eggs and whisk until all eggs are well incorporated with the mango & banana purée.

Now it’s time to put the rest of the ingredients in. I first add the vegetable oil and half a teaspoon of cinnamon and mix well. Cinnamon goes very well with mango and banana, so I find this addition gives some extra flavor to my mango and banana bread. If you don’t have any cinnamon powder, you could replace it with half a teaspoon of mixed spice.

Then it’s time for the flour and baking powder. I add the self-raising flour and baking powder to the mixture and using a whisk or a spatula I start mixing it all until the flour is well incorporated. The texture is going to be a bit thicker than a cake mixture. Finally, I add the chopped mango cubes and gently fold the mixture with the spatula so they are evenly distributed.

It’s time for the oven! Make sure your oven is preheated to 180°C/350°F. I use a bread loaf tin with some parchment paper or if you prefer just add some vegetable oil all around so it’s easier to get the bread out. Then carefully I add the mixture to the tin with my spatula. I bake the mango & banana bread for around 40 minutes until it has a nice golden brown color. If you are not sure, you could use a small knife or a wooden skewer and check if it comes out wet then it might need a few more minutes.
