This easy Mango Banana Bread consists of two popular fruits in the tropics: mangoes and bananas. Mangoes are in season in the spring here in America, at about the same time they are harvested in the Philippines, where April-May are considered summer over there. I added cubed mangoes to a bowl of mashed, over ripened bananas and the rest of the baking ingredients. The result was this beautiful loaf which we enjoyed for dessert or merienda, the Filipino afternoon snack. The best thing about this recipe was that you don't need a cake mixer, just mix everything by hand with a wooden spoon. This is an Asian In America recipe. Serves 4.
