Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour or plain flour
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup butter softened at room temperature, unsalted
- 2 cups granulated sugar or caster sugar, superfine

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165C/150C Fan). Grease and flour three 2lb loaf tins.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat until incorporated.
- Add the pieces of ripe banana and beat to incorporate. (see note)
- Sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg straight into the batter and stir together using a spatula until just combined.
- If using any optional additions, fold these in to the batter.
- Pour into prepared loaf tins and bake for about 60 to 65 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for a couple of minutes before flipping out onto a baking rack to cool.

Notes
- Using an handheld electric beater or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, the beater should be able to mash the ripe banana while mixing this into the batter. If your banana is a bit underripe or struggling to mash, you can also use a fork to help mash these against the sides of your bowl.
