Instructions

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Grease a loaf pan or line it with baking paper.
  2. 2In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas well with a fork until smooth. Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, melted oil, honey, and vanilla. Whisk well until the ingredients are combined.
  3. 3Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture: spelt flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix only until the flour disappears (do not overmix, so the cake doesn't turn out dense).
  4. 4Finally, gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate and walnuts with a spatula. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and, if desired, sprinkle a few more pieces of chocolate on top.
  5. 5Bake for 45–55 minutes. Check with a toothpick – if it comes out clean from the center (no liquid batter), the cake is done. Leave it in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Nutritional benefits

Thanks to the use of whole-grain flour and Greek yogurt, this meal contributes to a longer-lasting feeling of fullness and more stable blood sugar levels compared to classic desserts.
