In a blender, pulse the rolled oats for about 30 seconds or until they have the consistency of coarse flour.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oat flour from the blender, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet, leaving space between pancakes.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles begin to form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with optional toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or syrup.
