Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, cornmeal, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the waffle iron, spreading it evenly if needed (the amount will depend on the size of your waffle iron).
Close the waffle iron and cook the waffles until golden brown and crisp, typically 4-5 minutes per batch.
Carefully remove the waffles using tongs or a fork. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, nut butter, or additional honey or maple syrup.
