Eddie's Banana-Raisin-Oat Bread

Eduardo developed this recipe from a combination of a few others, including his Banana Date Bread.  We just had this and it was delicious - the lemon rind and fewer bananas gave it a nice flavor balance, and the moisture content was perfect.

Dry ingredients:
1 3/4 cup white flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup oats
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Wet ingredients:
1/4 cup melted butter, not too hot
1 tablespoon molasses
1/2 cup water
1 egg
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 very ripe bananas, mashed

Heat oven to 350° F.  Grease and flour a loaf pan.  Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl, mixing in oats, raisins, and nuts last.  Mix wet ingredients together in a different bowl, then fold into the dry ingredients, mixing just enough to combine (don't over-mix).  Pour into the loaf pan, and bake for 55-60 minutes until a utensil comes clean when inserted into the loaf.
