Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Fresh tomatoes (diced and drained)
• 0.5 cup Cilantro (chopped)
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper until fully combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, then add in the milk and olive oil. Whisk until the wet ingredients are fully blended.

Step 4

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can result in a tough bread.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes and chopped cilantro to the batter, folding gently to incorporate evenly.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve slices of this flavorful Tomato Cilantro Quick Bread on its own or with a smear of butter or cream cheese.
