In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Stir to mix the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, almond milk, egg, olive oil, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Let the mixture sit for about 15 mins.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet. Serve your protein-packed apple cinnamon pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of yogurt, sliced bananas, or chopped apples.
