Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Papaya, mashed (ripe)
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the mashed papaya, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve slices of the papaya bread as-is or with a drizzle of honey or a pat of butter.
