Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or do it by hand with a wooden spoon.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Stir until just combined, making sure not to overmix. A few lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and Thompson raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Give the pan a gentle tap on the countertop to remove any air bubbles.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. The baking time may vary, so start checking for doneness around the 55-minute mark.
Once the bread is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
