To make it healthier, it’s made with whole wheat flour, yogurt, coconut sugar and doesn’t have any added oil. It’s a unique bread that is perfect for summertime, or whenever you have some ripe mangos around!
Mango Health Benefits
I love this bread because I’m a huge fan of tropical fruits, but also because mango is a great addition to a healthy diet. It’s particularly high in vitamin-c which helps boost the immune system, and it’s also high in antioxidants, vitamin-B6, vitamin-A, and vitamin-E. Since it has minerals such as magnesium and potassium, it also aids in supporting a healthy heart. Vitamin-C and Vitamin-E are essential for healthy skin, which means that mangos are a great skin care option. Overall, it adds a lot to a healthy balanced diet, and it tastes awesome in baked goods or eaten on its own!

Ingredient Notes
For a gluten-free version of this bread, try using Pamela’s All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour, or Cup4Cup Gluten-Free Flour. I have never made this gluten-free myself, but those brands are usually great with 1-1 conversions.
To make this recipe dairy-free, you can replace the yogurt with either applesauce or plant-based yogurt.
Make sure to use canned full-fat coconut milk for this recipe and not a brand in a carton. The fat from the coconut milk makes the bread moist, so I don’t have to add any additional oil or butter. Also, for extra coconut flavor, I use coconut sugar as the sweetener in this recipe. It only has a little coconut flavor, but it’s a healthier alternative to white sugar as well.
Bread Making Equipment
- 8.5×4.5 Loaf pan
- Peeler
- Pairing knife
- 2 large mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Lime juicer and zester
- Whisk
- Spatula
If you don’t have a lime juicer or zester, I definitely recommend you getting one! They are convenient for any project with fresh lemon or lime juice and zest. I use mine all the time, and they are super inexpensive on Amazon.
Recipe Notes
- When baking the bread, check at 35 minutes to see if it’s done. If a toothpick comes out clean, it should be fully baked, but if not, bake it for another 5 minutes.
- If the top looks like it’s browning too quickly, carefully place aluminum foil over the top until the center is finished baking.
- Store this bread wrapped in aluminum foil or plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 4 days. (It won’t last that long!)
- If you’d like to freeze this bread, wrap it in aluminum foil and place it in a ziploc freezer bag. Freeze it for up to 3 months, and defrost in the fridge when you’re ready to eat it.
