Mango Banana Bread
Author: Merry Bevill
Recipe type: Bread
Ingredients
- ½ c butter (or shortening)
- ½ c Agave nectar (or honey)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1½ large banana
- mango frozen chunks to equal 1 mango (or 1 mango, peeled and cubed)
- 2 c gluten free flour
- 1 Tbs baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ t cinnamon
Instructions
- Pre-heat the solar oven while preparing the ingredients.
- In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir to mix well.
- In another bowl, puree or mash the frozen mango until smooth. Add the banana and mash until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Cream the butter with the sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well. Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the fruit mixture until all is incorporated into the batter.
- Pour into 2 greased and floured bread pans. This is a heavy, thick batter so smooth the top to make it pretty. Bake uncovered in the solar oven for about 1½ hours or until the bread pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Actual Cooking time will vary depending on the type of solar cooker, the weather, and the amount of food being cooked. For best results, and the shortest cooking time, keep the oven pointed directly into the sun.

Jen, Thanks for stopping by. Merry
Thanks a lot for sharing this recipe on #fridayblogbooster.
I’m collecting gluten-free and vegan recipes and this one looks delicious.
Hello, I’m so glad that you like my recipe. I have several gluten free recipes on my site. I hope you will enjoy them all. Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you so much for bringing your sunshine to Fridays Blog Booster Party #26. I have never heard of solar ovens before. Sounds interesting. We have a lot of roof solar to generate electricity in Australia. I will have to search for an oven.
I also love anything mango and gluten free so your recipe sounds awesome, I will have to try that one.

Hello Kathleen, Solar cooking seems to be a well kept secret. But the word is slowly getting out. I’m sure that you will be able to find a solar oven online, but in the meantime, try making one. A homemade solar oven is easy to make from simple materials you probably already have on hand and is a really great thing to know in case of emergencies. That way you can “give it a try” before you buy. Thanks for stopping by. And if you get a cooker, let me know how you like it. Merry
