Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten. Then add the almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix. Some small lumps are fine.
Lightly grease the waffle iron plates with cooking spray or brush with melted coconut oil.
Pour the batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron (amount varies depending on the size of your waffle maker, usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup per waffle). Close the lid and cook according to the waffle iron's instructions, usually 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and transfer to a plate. Repeat until all the batter is used.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!
