Best breakfast (and lunch, and maybe dessert) in awhile! Thank you for a great idea. Not to plug, but I even nerdily blogged about it (http://shiubox.blogspot.com/2008/07/goodness-that-is-mango.html) and wanted to give you credit. I tried this recipe with delicious results.

I took your suggestion and used white whole wheat flour, and then upped the health factor a little more by using 1/2 cup applesauce and 1/4 cup oil in place of the 3/4 cup oil. Instead of the grated apple, I added a cup of blueberries (and the two full cups of mango) and omitted the raisins. I also used orange zest instead of the lime, and added a little cinnamon extract I had laying around. Sounds like a lot of changes, but they all worked out great...especially the blueberries! I ended up with two mini loaves and one 8x4 inch loaf (I have no idea how Dorie managed to fit all the batter in that one pan). This recipe will most definitely become a standby! Hope my suggestions are of use to the next person!

I was just wondering if it would really detract from the recipe if I left the raisins out? I have an irrational hatred for raisins (!) but otherwise think this looks really terrific. Yum!

In fact, I 'll be posting on one soon. I made it 4 times in March and April when we had company visiting (that's what happens when you live in SOCAL and family lives in Northeast).
