Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, peel and mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the eggs, melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk the ingredients together until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the back of the spatula.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Using the parchment paper, lift the bread out of the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice the bread into 10 pieces and enjoy!
