- 4 pieces ripe bananas (note 1)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed, note 2)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (note 3)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
- Buttermilk - In a small bowl, combine milk and vinegar. Let it sit for 10mins until it curdles.
