Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin with coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and melted coconut oil. Whisk the wet ingredients until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
