Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Apply non-stick spray to a 9" x 5" loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, cream together butter and brown sugar.
Mix in eggs until well blended.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, wheat bran, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
In batches, whisk dry ingredients into the wet, making sure everything is evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, whisk together mango and sour cream. Mix mango mixture into the rest of the batter until just combined.
Fold in pecans.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, about 50-60 minutes.
Let bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely, about an hour.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Garnish top of bread with 2 TBS of chopped pecans or old-fashion oats.

TO STORE: I usually store it in foil and keep it on the kitchen counter for up to 4 days, as long as it is not hot. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.

TO FREEZE: You can also freeze slices or a whole loaf. Transfer to a resealable bag or freezer safe container and freeze for up to 4 months
