Let me start off by saying that I am so glad I didn’t miss this week! This week’s pick was made by Kelly of Baking with the Boys. It was a great pick by Kelly, everyone seemed to love it! I made lots of changes and I’m glad I did because it turned out really well.
I wasn’t too wild about adding raisins so instead I added coconut. I also decided to add a cup of macadamia nuts because I thought that the crunch of the nuts would be a nice contrast to the soft mango. I left out the ginger and only used half the amount of cinnamon. I ended up with two loaves because I was afraid that the batter would be too much for one pan. It works out better this way anyways because now I can give one away and so that means less for me to eat! Which is a good thing since summer is right around the corner.
I think adding coconut sounds much better than raisins. Your bread looks delicious.
I bet the coconut added just the right tropical flavor.
I put cinnamon chips in instead of raisins.
So glad this one was a winner for you! I tweaked it some and it was exactly what I hoped it would be.
What a great idea to add the coconut and nuts. I bet that was delicious!
My husband simply loves mango…he would be thrilled to kick back and eat a big hunk of this bread.
It seems like a lot of TWDers added or subbed coconut. It never occurred to me, probably because I’m not a fan of either! Your bread looks really tasty and I loved this bread! (except for the raisins…)
This bread sounds wonderful!
That looks really good. Coconut and macadamia – perfect!
That looks yummy, I love the idea of coconut, I am not a huge fan of raisins!
What a nice tropical bread!
