A delightful spiced loaf featuring green tomatoes and walnuts, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two medium loaf pans.
Greasing the pans ensures the loaf doesn't stick, making it easier to remove.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, salt, and brown sugar.
Whisking the dry ingredients helps distribute the spices evenly.
In another bowl, beat the eggs with the vanilla and vegetable oil.
Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
Add the chopped green tomatoes to the wet mixture and stir to combine.
Chopping the tomatoes finely ensures they blend well into the batter.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Fold in the chopped walnuts.
Toast the walnuts beforehand for extra flavor.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
Tap the pans gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the loaves a few minutes before the timer ends to avoid overbaking.
Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the bottom from becoming soggy.
Slice and serve the loaf as a delightful treat for any time of the day.
Pair with a hot beverage for a cozy experience.
