In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of coconut oil.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter slightly if needed.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip the pancake carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with your favorite healthy toppings such as fresh fruit, additional maple syrup, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of nuts. Enjoy!
