Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix!

Step 6

If using, fold in nuts or chocolate chips at this point.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
