Sift together the remaining flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt; set aside. Peel the bananas and mash in a bowl; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter, vanilla and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and bananas. Stir in the pecan-raisin mixture. Then combine with the remaining flour mixture.
