Rating this on behalf of Mom, as I didn't make it. She said it's the best bread she has ever made. She thought the batter was too dry at first, but as it sat it moistened up and was a great consistency. She used half white/ half brown sugar for this. She also said that this actually had an apple-ish taste to it, like if it had been made with Granny Smith apples. Honestly, she made it sound so good I'm looking forward to making it for myself!

I forgot to add to my last post that I used 1 1/2 cups of sugar and 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar as that was all I had.

All of a sudden we have a lot of green tomatoes that are going to be ruined by frost. We have picked them and I am going to make this bread, freeze it and give as gifts. We love the flavor and it is wonderful for a snack or for breakfast instead of the "usual". It is quick and easy to make, which is great!

This is a nice way to use up a few green tomatoes, but you'd never know they'r'e there.
The bread is rich and sweet but not overly so.
I replaced 1/2 cup of the oil with homemade applesauce, which I think must have had a lot less moisture than regular applesauce, because the batter was very hard to stir for awhile.
Next time I'll cut my tomatoes up and add that juice when I add the oil and applesauce, because once that happened it was easy to stir again.

I made this in muffin cups for my son's school class - they were yummy. Slight variations: I used 1 c. white sugar and 1 c. brown, half cup canola oil and half cup applesauce, substituted chopped fresh cranberries for the pecans. They tasted like great spice muffins with little tangy bits all through them. We'll definitely be doing this again next fall!

I was very hesitant about this recipe at first, but with 10lbs of green tomatoes wasting away on the vine, I didn't have much to lose. As some of the other reviews recommended, I substituted 1/2 of the oil for apple sauce. Also, instead of using pecans, I used dried cranberries and blueberries. It turned out great! Definately a recipe I'll use for years to come!

Recipe was easy and turned out delicious. Very good toasted. I did change the sugar to 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup brown sugar also used 1/2 cup of applesauce and 1/2 cup canola oil. I will definitely make this again. Great way to use up all those green tomatoes before the first frost.

This was pretty good and it sure didn't taste like tomato! I changed the recipe a bit to make it a tad easier on the diet - 1 cup of applesauce and 1T of oil, lighter on the pecans, 1.5 cups of sugar, and half the flour I used was whole wheat. I baked them about 16 minutes in mini muffin cups. With these changes it came out to 2 WW points per muffin. Tasted good but I probably won't make them again since I couldn't leave them alone and ate 4!

We love this bread. I have tons of green tomatoes left, but most are cherry tomato size and so can't be used to make fried greens. I have made this twice. I used 3/4 cup of olive oil both times. I also used 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown sugar. On the second batch I used mostly splenda and regular brown sugar. I used almonds on one batch, and 1/2 walnuts 1/2 dried fruit on the second. This is a really good moist spice bread.

We have over 3 giant bags of green tomatos and I wasn't sure what to do with them ... when I found this recipe. OMG so glad I did!! Great bread. I forgot the vanilla so I sprinkled it with a vanilla sugar prior to baking. I did take the advice of another reviewer and split the sugar to half brown and half white and cut the oil to 3/4 cup. I didn't have pecans so I used walnuts. I will make this great moist flavorful bread again!

Great bread, I was quite shocked how oily the batter was, but it came out fine. The batter was quite thick so be aware of this. To make it 'pretty' I sprinkled mine with sparkling sugar (prior to baking) from King Arthur flour, I wouldn't recommend that! Upon cutting that beautiful sugary layer fell off..(please don't tell my family that they ate bread w/tomatoes this a.m.) our secret!
Thank You Recipe Fairy!

What a great way to use up the green tomatoes that are not going to ripen before a hard frost. This is so good!! DH was took it with him to work and told anybody that could guess what was in it, he'd give them $5. He's still got his money! Thanks for another great recipe that uses common ingredients I have already!

I used 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup packed light brown. On my first try I found this to be a little too oily so on the second batch I dropped the oil to 3/4 cup and it was just fine and who needs the extra fat or calories anyway. I used my food chopper to grind the tomatoes and drained off some of the excess liquid before measuring the 2 cups. This recipe is a keeper.
