Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Prepare the Bananas: In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar (or honey) together until light and fluffy.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until well combined.
  7. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  8. Mix Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  9. Fold in the toasted walnuts and raisins.
  10. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  13. Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
