There are plenty of quick bread recipes out there that include fruits or vegetables; zuchinni, banana, carrot, tomato even beets. Never saw one with eggplant before though. It was probably thought up by some gardener that had an overabundance of eggplants in the garden. They must have been desperate to use them up to put them in a quick bread.

Odd and weird recipes from my large cookbook collection.
Weird Recipe Origins
While persuing my many cookbooks, adverstising booklets and cooking magazines I sometimes come across a recipe where I truely wonder what the originator was thinking. Sometimes they just sound like a terrible combination of ingredients. Other times it is what I call, the ingredient that doesn't belong. This is usually a food company trying to promote the use of their product in an inappropriate recipe. Recipes that might have found favor in past decades are sometimes so out of date they seem weird now.

I made this bread because I needed to use up some eggplant and I was curious. In my oven it took 60 minutes instead of 40 and the top was still gooey. There was very little flavor to this bread. If I were to make it again I would add some spices, however, I probably won't make it again. A fun experiment.
A nice recipe for extra eggplant. It took 60 minutes in my oven too. I added dried cranberries. Next time I'll use half cup more honey and add cinnamon or nutmeg.
