In a blender, add the rolled oats and blend until they form a fine oat flour. Alternatively, use a food processor.
Peel the ripe bananas and place them into a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash them until smooth.
Add the eggs to the mashed bananas and whisk together until combined.
Pour in the milk, vanilla extract, and add the ground cinnamon. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
Add the blended oat flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, add a little coconut oil or butter and let it melt, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Pour about 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 of the pancake and the edges look set.
Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
