Tuesdays With Dorie: Mango Bread
Woops.
I was pretty excited about this recipe (picked by Kelly at Baking with the Boys), thinking it might be a little healthier than some of the other recipes, what with the fruit and all. I made just 1/3 of the recipe, which produced two small loaves (5” x 2.5”). Then I figured out the calories.. wow. Dorie’s serving size, which would be 1/2 a loaf for me, came out to 364 cals! So I sliced the loaves into 8 little slices, making each slice 91 cals.
As far as taste goes, I was hoping there would be more of a mango flavor. It was definitely better the second day, but the big flavors were the ginger and cinnamon. Good, but not great, you know?
Look forward to next week’s TWD: Chipster (as in Chocolate Chip Cookie) Topped Brownies!

I love mangoes, never put them in bread before. I can’t wait to try this one!
I apparently should start calculating the calories of a serving size!! Looks great!
Sorry you weren’t such a fan!!!!
Oooh…. you should make a mango cupcake for Tickled Pink! You make the best cupcakes and I’d buy 8,000 of them!!!
Your mango bread looks fantastic. Too bad you didn’t like it.
I felt the same way.
Good, not great.
Yours looks really yummy! I don’t think I’ll want to know the calories for next week’s pick, how about you?
Your mini-loaves look great! I love this bread (I love the spices) but I agree that the mango flavor was not popping out. I’m going to pretend I didn’t see the calculated calories though…
Ummm, I did not even want to think about the calories after dumping in all the oil and sugar. But it’s good to know!
Oh no. I don’t do the calorie counting on Tuesdays. 🙂 Your cake looks great, sorry it wasn’t your favorite.
Nice looking loaf.
It was tasty. It was a great basic spicy loaf, but the mango flavor was sorta mild.
