Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined.
3
In a separate bowl, combine the molasses, honey, vegetable oil, green tomato puree, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5
Fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins gently.
6
Divide the batter evenly between two greased and floured 8 x 3 3/4 inch loaf pans.
7
Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes to rise slightly.
8
Use a sharp knife to make a slit down the center of each loaf from end to end—this will help the bread rise evenly while baking.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
