The first recipe I baked at 325 since no temp was listed. I made it with half white and half wheat flour. Overall, it wasn't very sweet so I think if you use the whear flour and you want a sweeter bread, you may want to adjust the sugar. I also think a teaspoon of vanilla would be good. Also, my bananas were on the small side so that may have affected it as well. Another suggestion would be to poke holes before covering with the sugar/butter coating. Overall, still very tasty. I made seven mini loaves from a double batch and cooked them about thirty to thirty-five mins total.
The second recipe tastes awesome. The knife came out clean at about the thirty minute mark and the bread was pulling away from the pan so I took it out. When I cut it, I realized it was still slightly underdone so I would be mindful of that. Probably another five minutes would have been perfect. I didn't put in any of the nuts because we don't have any. It tastes very much like a dessert. I ended up needing all of the tomatoes I pureed.
I did take pics to post, but I'll have to wait till I get a new modem

Tomato Spice Bread
1 lb ripe red tomatoes
2 eggs
1/2 c cooking oil
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 c light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 tsp each allspice, nutmeg, & cloves
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 c chopped walnuts
1/4 c sliced almonds (for garnish)
1/4 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350º. Grease a 6-cup bundt pan or other decorative ring mold, or an 8 -1/2 x 4-1/2-inch loaf pan. Cut tomatoes in wedges and remove seeds. In a food processor or blender, puree tomatoes until almost smooth, but still slightly chunky. Measure out 1-1/4 cups puree. In a large bowl, beat eggs, applesauce, and sugars with an electric mixer at high speed until doubled in volume and light colored, about 3 minutes. Add tomato puree and mix well. In a large bowl, combine flour, spices, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to tomato mixture and beat on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Fold in walnuts. Batter will be thin. Pour batter into prepared pan and sprinkle top with almonds. Bake 40 - 45 minutes, until bread springs back when touched and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely before slicing.
