Why I Love This Recipe
Name from Rachelle =]
Ingredients You'll Need
2 Cup Flour
2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
3/4 Cup Splenda
3/4 Cup Sugar
5 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Vanilla
2 Eggs Slightly Beaten
2/3 Cup Milk
2/3 Cup Cinnamon Applesauce
1 1/4 Cup Mashed Bananas (2-3 Medium Bananas)
2 Cups Pomegranate Arils
Directions
1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pans.
2.) Score fresh pomegranates and place in a bowl of water. Break open the pomegranates under water to free the arils (seed sacs). The arils will sink to the bottom of the bowl and the membrane will float to the top. Sieve and put the arils in a separate bowl. (Refrigerate or freeze any remaining arils for another use.)
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.
