Peel and mash the bananas in a medium bowl until smooth. Alternatively, blend them in a blender for a lump-free texture.
Add eggs to the mashed bananas and whisk until fully combined.
In a blender or food processor, pulse the gluten-free rolled oats until they form a fine flour-like consistency.
Add the oat flour, milk, baking powder, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt to the banana-egg mixture. Stir or blend until well incorporated. The batter should be thick but pourable; if needed, add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with coconut oil or butter.
Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour the batter onto the hot skillet, forming pancakes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set.
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nut butter, maple syrup, or a sprinkle of nuts for added crunch. Enjoy your guiltless banana pancakes!
