You know the story “If you give a Mouse a Cookie”? Well, that’s how this Banana Mango Coconut Milk Bread came about. I was making a delicious dinner of Coconut Curry Chicken Thighs, that only used 1/4 cup coconut milk. This left me with almost a full can left over. I just couldn’t throw it away.
Banana Mango Coconut Milk Bread Recipe
I set it aside while cleaning up and then eyed an overly ripe mango that just wasn’t going to make it another day. There just happened to be an overly ripe banana as well. That’s when I had an idea………why not mix them all together!
The Banana Praline Bread was a hit and figured my son would enjoy this as well, especially since he had soccer tryouts all weekend. If you’ve ever witnessed the teen boy appetite after a hard workout, then you know! You’d best just set out a few healthy options and step out of the way.
I set out buttered slices of this Banana Mango Coconut Milk Bread, watermelon, edamamae crackers and hummus and chocolate milk. I’ve learned to mix the ultra healthy with comfort foods for the ultimate disguise.
I used this coconut milk from Trader Joe’s

Notes
I add a tin foil tent to the top to avoid over browning after 30 min.
Add shredded coconut if desired. My husband hates coconut. I can only get away with coconut oil and milk. If I were to add it, I would have added about 1/2 cup.
I love making quick breads because they’re easy! You don’t have to be considered a good baker to bake a good quick bread! Not a lot of steps, easy to follow. The risk for messing up is low.

This sounds great! 2 questions…. do you mean the kind of coconut milk that comes in the little can, or the kind in a bigger container like almond milk? Do you think I could sub almond or coconut flour to make it gluten free? Thanks!
