Mango Banana Bread

Submitted by Krista Smith

"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 made this recipe this morning and it turned out wonderful! A couple of tweaks: I didn't add nuts or coconut, but I did use real butter and added a brown sugar streussel topping. Then I baked it for 50 minutes.

This is an awesome recipe. I used 1/4 cup canola oil and 1/4 cup 0% fat Fage plain Greek yogurt. I was out of raisins so used goji berries and they were a big hit. I used 1/2 brown sugar and an extra banana instead of white sugar and they were sweet enough. I used one cup flour and 1/2 cup flaxseeds and 1/2 cup chia seeds that I turned into flour in my coffee bean grinder. There were super moist. I am experimenting today with 1 cup oat flour and flax and chia flour that I am grinding in my coffee bean grinder. I added toasted pecans to my muffins and sprinkled old fashioned oats on the top before baking.

Awesome. Made it into muffins. Used all ingredients as suggested except used frozen mango and brown sugar. Came out beautiful. Next time I may add a bit of whole grain flour and see if they still work.
