Ingredients

Scale

For the Mango Bars

  • 2 cups fresh mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Lime Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Mango Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in the diced mango gently to distribute evenly.
  3. Bake the Bars: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  4. Prepare the Lime Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, fresh lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and pourable. Adjust the consistency by adding more lime juice or powdered sugar as needed.
  5. Glaze the Bars: Once the bars have cooled, drizzle the lime glaze evenly over the top. Allow the glaze to set for about 15 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe mangoes for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • The bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • For a more intense lime flavor, add extra zest to the glaze.
  • These bars can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw before glazing.
  • Adjust sugar amounts based on the sweetness of your mangoes.
