Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 9x5-inch loaf pan.

In small bowl, mix oat flour, baking cocoa, xanthan gum, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed 3 to 5 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally, until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until smooth. Beat in bananas, buttermilk and vanilla. Stir in oat flour mixture and chocolate chips. Pour into pan.
