Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

0 Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9x5" loaf pan with parchment paper or grease well. 
1 Make the vegan buttermilk mixture by combining dairy-free milk and apple cider vinegar together in a bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes.
2 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed banana and the other wet ingredients until combined.
3 Add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until distributed throughout the batter. 
5 Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the banana bread completely cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
6 Slice and serve with vegan butter, if desired, and enjoy!
