Peel and break the ripe banana into chunks. Add the banana, rolled oats, eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt to a blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed for 30-60 seconds, or until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some of the liquid and slightly thicken.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with coconut oil or butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the center of the pan and quickly tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin crepe layer.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the crepe with a spatula and cook for an additional 1 minute until cooked through.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.
Serve the crepes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nut butter, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey. For a savory option, add avocado, smoked salmon, or eggs.
