Directions
1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pans.

3.) In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
4.) In a small bowl stir together bananas, oil, vanilla, milk and egg; stir into flour mixture just until moistened; do not over-mix. Fold in arils.
5.) Spoon batter into prepared pans.
6.) Bake for 60-70 minutes until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
7.) Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove loaf from pan and cool on wire rack.

* 1 large pomegranate will give approximately 1 cup arils.

    I think the "oil" mentioned, is actually the applesauce. - 11/4/09

    This is a lot of flour for a quickbread. (Even then, what makes it rise, other than 2 eggs & not even 2T baking powder?) - 6/5/20

    Spectacular, and perfect for the upcoming holidays. I left out the splenda and upped the applesauce to add sweetness. I also substituted some baking soda for some of the baking powder. Really excellent! Everyone who has tried it has loved it - thanks SO much! - 11/21/09
