Using spray oil, butter or Crisco shortening, grease and flour the sides and bottoms of baking pans. Pour batter into pans until they are 3/4 full. Place on middle rack in the 350 degree oven.

Baking time depends on the number and size of baking pans:
Bake 35-40 minutes for four small baking pans.
Bake 50-60 minutes if using two standard size baking pans.

Check if mango bread is ready by inserting a bamboo skewer or toothpick into center of each loaf. Remove bread when skewer is dry and outside of bread is nice and brown.
