  • 1/4 cup lowfat lime yogurt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar substitute, splenda
  • 1/2 cup egg substitute
  • 1 1/2 cups mango, diced
  • 2 tsp lime zest
  • 1 tbsp lime juice

  • 1 cup icing sugar, sifted
  • 1 tbsp lime zest

Preparation

Step 1

1. In large bowl, beat oil and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time; add vanilla. Stir in mango, lime zest and juice.

2. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt; stir into egg mixture until just combined. Stir in walnuts. Pour batter into greased 8-1/2 x 4-1/2-inch [22 x 11-cm] loaf pan.

3. Bake in 350¼F [180¼C] oven 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool a few minutes in pan; remove and continue cooling on wire rack.

4. Glaze: In small bowl, combine icing sugar and lime zest. Add lime juice; stir until blended. Spread or drizzle over loaf.

Notes: made these as muffins. Original recipe called for 3/4 cup mango, 3/4 cup sugar (instead of subbing some Splenda), 2 eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and all white flour. Also omitted the glaze.
Really delicious - great combination of flavors. David did not like, due to the walnuts.
