Mango Banana Bread

Krista Smith's Note:

I found this recipe on the alohaworld website (http://alohaworld.com/ono) and just adore it! I'm always looking for a good banana bread recipe and this one fits the bill! It's moist and has a nice crisp, almost caramelized crust. Now if I could just figure out how to keep the crust during storage!

I was very disappointed with this recipe. It didn't have very much flavor, and I felt like the huge amount of fat in it actually prevented you from tasting anything else. I will not make this again.

I made this for hubby's work and they loved it. I forgot to add the melted butter but it was still good. I also added in coconut but no nuts or raisins. I had to cook it for 10 more minutes because the inside wasn't done. A good way to use up mangoes from my tree.

I loved this bread! I thought the banana and mango was a delicious combination.I recently made just plain mango bread but I prefer this one with banana.I only had one large mango so I added an extra banana.I left the coconut out but I did add the raisins which I really liked in this.I also used applesauce in place of half the oil.This bread was extremely moist and delicious.I will definately be saving this recipe.
