I meant to halve the recipe bc I barely had a cup of mango but I forgot until halfway through putting the ingredients together. So I switched gears and added a few nectarines. Mine sunk in the middle and tastes more like a very moist cake than a quick bread, but we'll lay the blame for that directly at the bf's door. I asked him to check the bread and take it out when it was done since I had to leave in the middle of baking, and I don't think he checked it that well. It's edible, but not going to make it to the bake sale I had in mind. Still, I don't think it's the fault of the recipe bf took it out too soon! I agree with other reviewers that this bread does not taste like mango at all--just like a sweeter quick bread. not bad, but I prefer fruit flavor in my fruity quick breads. Thanks for the recipe1

Such an easy recipe!!! I followed it exactly and it was delicious!! I didn't have a loaf pan so I baked it in a square baking dish and covered it with cream cheese frosting. We loved it!

This was easy to make. I actually made it twice. The first time i made it just like the recipe and made it in the loaf pan. The second time i changed it and added some nutmeg to the recipe and made it in a bundt cake pan. I didn't need to change the cooking time. It tasted delicious because I also added more mango.

I made this when I hosted book club in January and it was a hit with everyone! As mentioned before, the batter is EXTREMELY thick and you wonder if it will really work, but it does! My husband and son loved it, too, and have requested it again.

Just a tip for peeling and cutting mango: Cut the mango lengthwise along each side the core. Take one slice, make 1/2 inch slits along the inside fruit part up to, but not through, the peel, both vertically and horizontally. Basically, you are dicing the fruit from the inside. Now, take your mango piece and turn it inside out. You should have a bunch of mango dices you can easily cut off the peel. I don't remember who taught me this, but its the only way to cut and peel mango. I would never eat mango if I had to peel it with a peeler!

This is good bread, but you really can't taste the mango in it, which was disappointing to me. It actually reminded me of zuchinni bread. I made a glaze from lime juice and confectioner's sugar to put over the top, since I love the mango/lime combination, but now I just have lime glazed sweet bread. Oh well, it is still good, just not what I was looking for. I would prefer to use the mango in a recipe where I can appreciate it's full flavor.

The recipe turned out to be a success! I thought it was bizarre to bake with mangoes, but it turned out just fine. The taste is quite unique so i love it for that. I would recommend, though, to juice or chop very small pieces of mango because any chunks of mango in the bread add a different taste that does not compliment the rest of the bread.

A bit hard to mix up and I was - at first - afraid of how thick it was, but it turned out very good and very moist. Everyone at work loved it!

Huge hit in our home. I decreased the sugar ad cinnamon and added a dash of nutmeg. I also used overriped mangos that had a lot of flavor ad mashed easily

These are really, really good muffins. I cut the sugar down, as recommended by others; I also ended up with a bad mango, so I pureed the 2 cups I had and then added a 1/2 cup of chopped apple. Kind of random, but I'm very happy with how they turned out...

This was really good. Different, though, and because of that I doubt I'll make it often, so it earns 4 stars. I made it in one 9x4.5 loaf pan and 9 muffins; I could have filled the loaf a little more as well as each muffin, and would have probably had only 6 muffins. It is very moist and even almost gooey, but not in a doughy sort of way. I did cut the sugar down to only 1 cup, and substituted cranberries for the raisins. I definately recommend trying this at least once!

I made this into muffins. I think it is a good basic recipe for mangoes. I played with many of the quantities (less sugar, less oil, didn't have all the mango called for) and I added about a teaspoon of nutmeg just because I felt like it and probably doubled the raisins. Anyway, the muffins are great, not amazing, but very good. They also freeze very well. I think the basic recipe is good and leaves lots of room for successful customizing.

This was just ok. Very moist and good texture, but you couldn't taste the mangoes. I made it into muffins. I added a dash of nutmeg, so they tasted like spice muffins. When my husband saw the mango strings in them, he accused me of hiding squash in the muffins! (I'm always trying to sneak veggies into his diet.)

Like someone has mentioned previously, if you are looking for the unique mango flavor bread, add something to the recipe. I personally didn't really care for the flavor. Next time, I will put cranberry instead of raisins and omit cinnamon. The bread was very moist, however, I didn't check it until the timer went off after 60 min. and it was burnt on the bottom a little. My husband said it tasted okay but had too much baking soda taste.

As suggested in previous comments, I made muffins rather than bread, and the results were fantastic! My family all enjoyed them very much. I halfed the measurements which made about 12 small-medium sized muffins. There is maybe too much sugar in the recipe as I found them quite sweet even though I have a sweet tooth!!! Thanks for the recipe.

I thought this recipe was ok. It didn't have as much mango flavor as I was hoping. My family loved though, so I gave it 4 stars. I think the recipe would probably work with applesauce too, and I'm going to try that today.
