Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or on the stovetop, then add it to the mashed bananas.
Mix in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined.
Beat the eggs separately and then mix them into the banana mixture.
In another bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the banana slice cool in the dish for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut into squares and serve or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
