In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

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

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts gently into the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
