In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water to make a flax egg. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
Mash the banana in a separate bowl until smooth, then add it to the dry ingredients along with almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Pour in the prepared flax egg and gently mix all ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing the batter.
Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite dairy-free toppings such as sliced fruits, nuts, or additional maple syrup.
