Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas, whisking until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients well.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with additional coconut oil if it's not non-stick.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. The amount will depend on the size of your waffle iron.
Close the waffle iron and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and release easily from the iron.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, keeping cooked waffles warm in an oven set to low heat, if desired.
Serve the waffles warm with your choice of paleo-friendly toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
