Mango Cardamom Zucchini Bread (Gluten Free) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 large eggs, lightly beaten
    1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
    6 tablespoons light brown sugar (or more, see note at beginning of directions)
    1 teaspoon orange extract
    1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups coarsely grated zucchini or 1 medium coarsely grated zucchini
    3/4 cup organic oat flour
    1/4 cup organic soy flour
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1 pinch salt
    1 teaspoon cardamom
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 medium mango, ripe and fragrant
Preparation
    Smell and taste the mango to make sure it's fragrant and sweet. If the mango is not very sweet or sweet-and-sour, you may want to increase the sugar by a couple of tablespoons. (This part is a little tricky, because a very sweet mango will impart extra sweetness to the finished bread.).
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    In a bowl combine and oil and eggs. Add sugar; mix.
    Stir in orange extract and zucchini.
    In a separate bowl, combine flours, baking soda, salt and spices; gradually stir into zucchini mixture to combine.
    Peel mango and cut into 1/2 inch dice. Drain the mango pieces well by squeezing gently and measure out about 3/4 cup to 1 cup. Stir diced mango into batter.
    Add some additional sugar if desired, per the above note in the directions.
    Spray an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray.
    Pour batter into prepared pan.
    Bake about 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted into center comes out clean.
