Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Add the almond milk and melted coconut oil to the batter, stirring gently until incorporated.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
