In a blender, add 1.5 cups of old-fashioned rolled oats and blend until a fine flour is formed. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Peel the 2 ripe bananas and add them to the blender with the oat flour, along with 1 cup of almond milk, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 0.25 teaspoon salt, 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.
Blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth batter. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is mixed well.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil or vegetable oil, spreading it evenly over the cooking surface.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form around the edges and the bottom is golden brown.
Gently flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm, optionally topping with additional maple syrup, fresh fruit, or nuts.
