Steps:

• Allow one stick (1/2 cup) of butter and one egg to rest to room temperature. Preheat oven to 350°.
• In a mixing bowl add one stick (1/2 cup) butter at room temperature and 1 cup sugar. Cream together at high speed for a few minutes with a hand or stand mixer until becoming fluffy. Add one room temperature egg and whip for a few minutes.
• Mash 2 large bananas to make about 1 cup of "banana mush" and mix one teaspoon of baking soda and let sit for a few minutes.
• Mix the banana into the butter. Mix well. Add 2 cups flour, one pinch of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. And 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, and cloves. Add 1 cup chopped nuts (or chocolate chips) and mix.
