Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Buttermilk
- 0.5 cups Pomegranate seeds (arils)
- 0.5 cups Chopped pistachios
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the granulated sugar and melted butter until combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients.
Fold in the pomegranate seeds and chopped pistachios gently, being careful not to overmix the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
