Add the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
Mix in the Dry Ingredients:
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
4. Fold in the Add-ins:
Add Walnuts and Raisins:
Gently fold in the toasted walnuts and raisins, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Bake the Banana Bread:
Pour the Batter:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the top is browning too quickly, tent the loaf with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.
6. Cool and Serve:
Cool the Bread:
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and Serve:
Slice the banana bread and serve warm or at room temperature. It’s delicious on its own or spread with butter.
