Preheat the oven to 350°Fahrenheit (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, almond flour, rolled oats, sugar, ground flax seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until everything is well combined.
In another mixing bowl, add the banana, eggs, milk, oil, and molasses. Use a fork to mash the banana, then continue mixing until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the banana mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Add the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using. Use a wooden spoon to mix everything together—the batter will be thick.
Spread the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 9x13-inch rectangular pan, pressing it into the corners. Wet your hands slightly with water and use them to smooth the top. Bake at 350°Fahrenheit (175C) for 20-25 minutes, until they are golden brown; the middle may look a little less cooked, but it will become firm when it cools.

*A glass baking pan does not bake as evenly in the middle. I recommend using a metal pan so these bars bake evenly.
