Green Tomato Bread

I came across this recipe at The Fajdich Times I thought it looked interesting so I gave it a try.

For the green tomatoes I grated them then put them in a colander with a bowl on top to drain the liquid.


Green Tomato Bread, adapted from the Fajdich Times

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and make a well in the middle.

3 eggs, beaten

1 cup sugar

1 cup grated green tomato, drained(3 to 4 medium tomatoes)

1 cup apple sauce/olive oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

I substituted applesauce for oil. I take a measuring cup and fill it with applesauce, then top it off with olive oil. Try to make it a bit healthier:)


Combine above ingredients and bowl and mix well. Pour into well in the flour bowl and stir together.



1 cup chopped, toasted pecans (I left these out.)

1 cup raisins, optional

Add raisins to mixture.

Pour into greased bread pan and bake at 350F for 1 hour.



And how did it taste? Delicious. And using apple sauce instead of oil did not make it too dry. It was still nice and moist.

Pumpkin Bread

I got this recipe from SnoWhite at Finding Joy in my Kitchen.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

1 1/2 C flour (can use 1/2 C whole wheat)
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 C brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 C pumpkin puree
1/2 C applesauce (unsweetened)
1 egg, beaten
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. all spice
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/2 C dark chocolate chips

Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl, and the wet in another.

Add the wet to the dry. If you are finding the batter to be too dry, add up to 1/4c water. I didn't have to add any.
Add the chocolate chips last.
Grease a loaf pan. Pour batter into pan and bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes.

Cool in pan for about 5-10 minutes, then cool on cooling rack before serving.
