Add 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup melted butter to the mashed bananas, and mix well.

Stir in 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.

Fold in 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2 cup chopped nuts, reserving some nuts for the top.

Pour the batter into a greased 9x5 loaf pan.

Bake for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

After 20 minutes, cover with tin foil if the nuts are getting too dark.

Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
