Mango Bread recipe

Quick breads are a great way to use local fruits and vegetables. This quick bread recipe is based on Dodi Manaba's recipe in the Molokai Catholic Community Cook Book (2003). The recipe is as follows:

• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoon (tsp.) baking soda
• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. salt (we use Hawai'ian rock salt)
• 1 1/2 cup sugar (Natural Cane Sugar)
• 2 whole eggs
• 2 cups diced mango
• 1/2 cup chopped nut (Roasted mac-nuts)
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil.
• Pre-heat oven to 350 F

First, mix the sugar and vegetable oil together and add the eggs one at a time. Make sure that this mixture is well mixed (about 2-3 minutes on medium speed).

Next, add the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and continue mixing until a smooth batter forms(2-3 minutes on medium speed).
