Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a medium-sized mixing bowl using a fork until smooth.
Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to the mashed bananas. Whisk until fully combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms. If the batter seems too thick, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of water to adjust the consistency.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Once the oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium-low to prevent burning.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to lightly spread the batter into a circular shape, if necessary.
Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the pan as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm, optionally topped with extra walnuts, sliced banana, or a drizzle of maple syrup (if compliant with your dietary plan). Enjoy!
