In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oat flour, cornmeal, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to create a buttermilk substitute.
Add the egg, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and melted butter (or coconut oil) to the milk mixture. Whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancake and cook on the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, yogurt, or additional maple syrup.
