Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with a bit of coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the melted coconut oil to the mashed bananas and mix well. Stir in the brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Pour in the almond milk and stir until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the banana bread warm or at room temperature.
