In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
In a separate small bowl or jug, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in dense pancakes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm topped with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
