At just 186 calories a slice this is quite a guilt-free treat, and you can make it even healthier with my tips below! I love mangoes and all things mango: exhibit A, the armloads of mango recipes I’ve shared with you on this blog, including mango cupcakes, mango cake, vegan mango cheesecake, mango lassi and mango curry. This vegan mango bread recipe is also a product of that obsessive love for mangoes I share with so many Indians, and Indian-born people around the world. If you don’t get it, you haven’t tasted an Indian mango: radiantly golden and deliciously juicy. It drips down your elbows as you bite into it and its vivid flavor, literally, makes the world a sunnier place. Over the years this vegan Mango Bread, which captures all of that sunny deliciousness, has won many fans, including so many readers of this blog who have made it. Desi can’t get enough of it, and visiting friends and relatives often request it. If you have made it before, you need to make it again. And if you haven’t, you’re in for a treat!
A one-bowl dessert bread
Scented with cardamom. When I created this vegan mango bread recipe many years ago I chose just one spice to maximize the flavor of the mangoes: cardamom. The delicate, sweet aroma of this pod is wonderful in Indian desserts like gulab jamun and kaju katli and in Indian-inspired desserts like this turmeric cake. It shines, unabashed, in this mango bread. Soft, spongy texture. This bread has a cake-like texture that melts in the mouth! Easy recipe. The one-bowl recipe is simple and straightforward and you can get the batter together in under 10 minutes. Great for gatherings and potlucks. I often take this mango bread to potlucks or make it for dinner guests. It takes so little time to put together and it’s so delicious, it always gets the most compliments. Soy-free, nut-free recipe. You can make this recipe vegan by subbing all-purpose gluten-free flour for the all-purpose flour.
