Step 1

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.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients.

Step 6

Fold in the pomegranate seeds and chopped pistachios gently, being careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
