Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until they reach a smooth consistency.
Add the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Stir in the almond milk until the batter is just combined. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
