Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it with coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the coconut flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated. The batter will be thick due to the absorbent nature of coconut flour.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the bread plain or with your favorite toppings, such as homemade nut butter or a drizzle of honey.
