Begin by combining the dry ingredients in a bowl and stirring together. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash 2 overripe bananas using a fork until there are no large chunks. Measure out 2/3 cup of mashed banana and keep this in the bowl and discard any excess.
Add the milk, eggs, avocado oil and vanilla to the bowl with the banana and whisk together until smooth.
Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and whisk together. Mix until the dry ingredients have been well incorporated but avoid overmixing. Set batter aside for about 5 minutes so that the oat flour can absorb some of the moisture and soften.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the pan with cooking spray if needed. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the pan in a circle. Let the pancake become firm around the edges before flipping. Once the pancake is fully cooked on one side, carefully flip with a spatula and cook on the other side. Repeat for the remaining batter.

Liz's Tips for the Best Banana Pancakes:

Oat flour does not absorb moisture as quickly as regular flour. Allowing the batter to sit for at least 5 minutes before pouring it into the pan can help the pancakes become fluffy and tender, and they won’t break as easily.
Oat flour pancakes require a little more time to cook fully. Be patient and look for firm edges before the initial flip.
After the first 2 or 3 pancakes, reduce the heat slightly to avoid burning the pancakes.
Oat flour pancakes take a little longer to cook than pancakes made with refined flour. To make the cooking process quicker you can use two skillets or a large electric griddle so that you can cook multiple pancakes at the same time.
