Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lay a 12-hole muffin pan with muffin paper liners. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Set aside.
In another large mixing bowl, mash the bananas. Whisk in melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and almond milk.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk just enough to combine and create a thick consistent muffin batter.
Fold in any chopped nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
Fill the muffin hole up to 3/4, then place the muffin pan in the center rack of the oven and bake for 5 minutes at 425°F (220°C), then reduce heat to 350°F (180°C) and keep baking for 15-20 minutes or until a pick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean.
Cool down in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack
