I think the best bananas come from the Philippines. And it's available here all-year round...in fact I have banana stalks (trees) beside my house. So it's but natural, that I also like making banana bread--my dad is a connoiseur when it comes to banana breads. But it's been a long time since I've baked one. So today, I've decided to test if my banana bread recipe is as good as it once was. Dad said it's the best he has eaten...and that's not just because he's my dad!

In another bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend in banana mixture just until combined (batter does not have to be smooth) Fold in raisins and nuts. Bake for 60 minutes.
