How was your holiday weekend? I had a really great one and now I’m back feeling inspired and ready to get through the rest and make this a completely a good week.
Anyway, have I ever mentioned the fact that I grew up hating bananas. Well, I did. In fact, they used to make me gag.

Of course, now that I’ve gotten older, I can see that I was missing out all of those years like I keep trying to tell @fullofhope she’s missing out on peanut butter. It’s a shame, so now I will have to spend my life trying to make up for the years I spent in oblivion to the goodness of a ripe banana. Oh, and is it strange to get excited about a pomegranate?
Yeah, I think most other girls my age would prefer things like new clothes or boys. Which I’m by no means opposed to either, but I’m currently spending most of my time cooking and dreaming up where to travel next. However, pomegranates are very real and in season down here. I warned you last weekend that they’d be popping up, didn’t I?
I feel poms are terribly undervalued and should get more love. For one thing, they are completely gorgeous, don’t you think? I mean, I felt like I was bedazzling my banana bread with ruby red jewels while I was making this. Plus, there’s the aspect of getting to shove numerous arils in your mouth while making this bread and sprinkling them into the batter. I may have even gotten a little carried away with the last part but I’m not complaining.
ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST.
And, by the way, to all the minnows out there, my intro post did a huge $0.21. The key to success on Steemit is to be consistent and persistent.

Great post, love your food photography. I will try to make this very health looking bread. Good luck with your travel plans!
thanks so much @cookit
That looks delicious. Dont mind saying Bananarama ;) for the recipe as many times as you want!
Thanks @pbv! Enjoy
Ingredients
2 cups old fashioned oats, divided
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 cup raw sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 large or 3 small very ripe bananas
1 cup pomegranate arils, or more if you want
Instructions
Pour 1 1/2 cups of oats into food processor or blender and process until fine. Add all other ingredients, except remaining 1/2 cup oats and arils, and blend until the batter is smooth. Pour in remaining oats and pulse a few times to combine.
Stir in arils and pour into prepared pan. Top with extra arils if desired and bake for 45 - 55 minutes until center is done.
Notes
You can make this recipe without a food processor of blender by mashing bananas in a large bowl with fork or potato masher and replacing first 1 1/2 cups of oats with 1 cup oat flour (or whole wheat flour if not gluten free).
Yippiee. I made it first. Thanks a ton for that lipsmacking recipe @gringalicious. I shall be trying the Gluten free version soon!!
That looks delicious, thanks for the recipe!
Wow... Again... what a beautiful and inspirational presentation...

看起来很不错的样子，好想吃
Basically you put three ingredients that SHOULDN'T, COULDN'T and DEFINITELY don't go together and experimented. Unbelievable what you did. I couldn't be prouder of the human race!
Nice photos and nice article
I actually wondered how the oatmeal and pomegranate juice were in harmony. I absolutely want to taste it :D
@gringalicious
They go quite well together actually. Thanks for reading @mhmtdr0!
@gringalicious believe me I'm eating pomegranate :)
Haha, I'm glad you like them as much as I do @gzmgndgdu!
POMEGRANATES!! You have a treasure box of ideas ..Nice @gringalicious
thanks so much @gamainvegas. I'm glad you like my ideas
@gringalicious. I love banana bread, it goes nicely with peanut butter and hot cup of cocoa. Do you have any recipes for Plantain?
ah yes, peanut butter and banana bread, that's a great combo. I don't have any for plantain, but that is good inspiration, thanks @badmusgreene
The Idea Is Interesting. Culinary masterpieces
Oh, thanks @tatianavishny! You're too kind.
Really yummy food and nice post. my friend

Oh my god, this looks incerdibly delicious :))))

cause the results of your cooking always good.
But for me, i'm very want to taste the Banana Bread Without the pomegranates -_-"
I am going to try it! Thanks!
You should, it's got your name all over it
Warm, toasty bread right out of the oven on a cold winter day....yes please!
Hey @sgtechservices, thanks so much for commenting. I hope you saw the recipe above
I've definitely never thought to put pomegranates together with banana, but it clearly works! Getting all of those little seeds out of a pomegranate takes FOREVER but the payoff is SO worth it! Yummm!
yeah, harvesting a pomegranate can take time. Costco sells them already harvested, that takes half of the fun away. Great commenting @jaymorebeet, thanks so much
Amazing photography
That just looks so tasty! I want to eat it now! :D Haha
Thanks so much @andrejprochazka
Looking very delicious....
thanks @hidayat4u

Liquifying dried dates in some hot water also adds a caramel creamy sweetness to breads if you're looking for a good sugar sub for bananas.
that's a great idea, thanks so much @dugyfresh
Your pictures look so good :o perfect angle and edit!
thanks so much for the great commenting @lisadang
Looks good. I don't care too much for plain banana bread, but I might try this.
