Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 175 °C. Grease a loaf pan or line it with baking paper.
2
In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth, but with a few small chunks for texture. Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, melted oil, and vanilla. Mix well with a whisk.
3
In another bowl, combine the spelt flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
4
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones. Gently mix with a spoon or spatula, just until the flour is moistened. Warning: Do not overmix, or the bread will turn out dense and tough.
5
Finally, fold in the chopped dark chocolate and walnuts. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and, if desired, sprinkle a few more walnuts on top.
6
Bake for 50–55 minutes. Check with a toothpick – when inserted into the center, it should come out clean (no liquid batter, melted chocolate is fine). Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack.
