Cream together 1/2 cup of unsalted softened butter and 3/4 cup of sugar in a large mixing bowl on medium-high speed.

In a second medium mixing bowl, coarsely mash 3 ripe bananas until they reach the consistency of baby food.

Add the mashed bananas to the creamed mixture along with 2 large room-temperature eggs and mix until combined.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of flour, 1 tsp of baking soda, and 1/2 tsp of salt.

Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and stir to combine.

Stir in 1/2 tsp of real vanilla extract, 1/2 cup of raisins, and 1 cup of coarsely chopped toasted walnuts, folding until just combined.

Grease the sides and bottom of a loaf pan with a pat of butter and dust with flour to prevent sticking.

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the bread rest in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
