Peel and slice the ripe bananas. Lay them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid, about 2 hours or overnight.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, almond butter, vanilla extract, sea salt, and cinnamon. Mix until a dough forms. Using your hands, form small, bite-sized cookie pieces. Set aside.
Once the bananas are frozen, transfer them to a food processor or high-speed blender. Add the unsweetened almond milk and blend until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the prepared almond cookie pieces gently by hand, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the banana ice cream mixture.
Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer texture. Before serving, let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
