Provided by Janelle

Categories     Bread

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups green tomatoes, diced
1 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*F. Grease two 9x5 bread pans and set aside. Tip: You may want to put a piece of parchment paper on the bottom or nonstick foil. Mine tend to stick a little to the pan when only using cooking spray. In a mixing bowl combine sugar and oil. Mix well. Add eggs, vanilla and salt. Mix well again, scraping sides of bowl as needed. Add cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder. Slowly add flour until completely combined. Mixture will be thick. Add in diced tomatoes and stir well. Mixture will thin out from moisture tomatoes bring. If adding walnuts, add now. (Photos are with walnuts) Pour half of batter in each pan. Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean from center of bread. Cool for 5 minutes in pan and then remove from pan and cool on a rack.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, unblemished green tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough bread.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Green tomato quick bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for using up those end-of-season green tomatoes. With its moist, flavorful crumb and slightly tangy flavor, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have a few green tomatoes on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
