In a blender or food processor, place the gluten-free oats and blend until they form a fine flour-like consistency.
Transfer the oat flour to a large mixing bowl and add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and honey, whisking to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir together until just mixed, avoiding over-mixing to ensure fluffy pancakes.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil or butter over low heat. Add the melted oil or butter to the pancake batter and gently fold in.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil or butter to lightly coat the surface.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook each pancake until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as necessary.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite gluten-free toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or maple syrup.
