• 1 1/2 sticks butter, soft=12 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup packed soft light brown sugar
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Remove the kneading blade from the bread pan. Grease and
line the bottom and sides of the pan and set aside.

1. Cream the butter and brown sugar together in a bowl. Gradually beat in the eggs. Sift the flour and baking powder over and fold in, mixing well. Fold in the bananas.
2. Place half the batter in a separate bowl. Sift the cocoa powder over, add the milk, and fold together. Stir the ground ginger into the plain banana batter. Place alternate spoonfuls of each batter into the bread pan, then gently swirl a sharp knife or skewer through the mixture to create a marbled effect.

3. Place the bread pan in position in the machine and close the lid.
4. Set the machine to "Bake Only" for 55 minutes.
