In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until fully mixed.
In a separate bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the banana and whisk until the mixture is well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable.
Heat a tablespoon of coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter into the skillet, forming a small circle. Repeat to fill the skillet without overcrowding.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on one side or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set.
Gently flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite Whole30-compliant toppings such as fresh fruits or a drizzle of almond butter.
