Fantastic, my 3 year old loved it. Used 1/2 cup less sugar and 1/2 applesauce for oil and turned out LOVELY!!!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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 is a lovely bread. Quick and easy to make. The flavors are well balanced. Moist, but not sticky. I got 2 requests for the recipe the first time I served it. I will definately make this again and again. Deb Wolf, Huntley, IL

It's hard to believe green tomatoes make such a delicious bread! I served this with Hungarian Goulash. The combination of the sweetness of the bread and the spicy goulash was wonderful. Thanks for a great recipe!
