In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate smaller bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Stir in the almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Mix until fully combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the grated apple.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If necessary, lightly coat the surface with a non-stick spray or a small amount of almond milk to prevent sticking.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter into an even circle with the back of a spoon if needed.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of non-dairy yogurt if desired.
