Mango Banana And Macadamia Nut Granola Food

MANGO-BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Take about 1/4 of the chopped mango and puree in a food processor or blender until it is the same consistency as mashed bananas; it should yield about 1/2 cup pureed mango. Reserve remaining chopped mango.
• Sift flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl.
• Combine butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a small bowl until blended; mix in eggs and vanilla extract. Fold into the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chopped mango, pureed mango, banana, coconut, and walnuts. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes.

COCONUT, CASHEW AND MANGO GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• For the base: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Toss the oats with the butter on a rimmed baking sheet and spread in an even layer. Bake until toasted, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely, then transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the cashews, macadamia nuts, and coconut.
• For the bars: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang. Coat the foil with cooking spray.
• Combine the sugar, butter, honey, salt and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally; the mixture will bubble and foam. Boil for 30 seconds, then pour over the oat mixture and stir. Let cool slightly, then stir in the ginger, mango and pineapple. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press firmly with a rubber spatula to spread in an even layer.
• Let the bars stand at room temperature until completely cool and firm enough to slice, 1 to 3 hours. Lift out of the pan using the foil overhang and cut into 20 bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
