Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add 5 large, ripe bananas to a large mixing bowl, then use a potato masher or fork to mash them well.
Add 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, then whisk well.
Add 1/4 cup coconut oil, then immediately whisk well (if you delay the whisking after adding the coconut oil to the bowl then it may solidify which would make it harder to incorporate into the batter).
Add 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder, then whisk again to combine.
Divide the batter evenly into a 12 cup muffin pan lined with paper baking cups.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out looking clean.

Store these muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze them for up to three months.
Optional additions include 1/2 cup each of chocolate chips and/or chopped walnuts or pecans.
