Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the chopped walnuts if using.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Step 10
Cut the cake into nine squares and serve as a delightful sugar-free treat!
