Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron plates with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour the batter onto the center of the waffle iron (amount depends on the size of your waffle iron, usually around 1/2 to 3/4 cup per waffle). Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly if necessary.
Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically 4 to 6 minutes per batch, depending on your waffle iron.
Carefully transfer the finished waffles to a wire rack to keep them crisp while you prepare the remaining waffles. Avoid stacking to prevent sogginess.
Serve the waffles immediately with toppings of your choice, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream.
