In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, unsweetened applesauce, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron (use the amount recommended by your waffle iron's instructions). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and place them on a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Once the waffles have cooled completely, lay them flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until firm (about 2 hours).
Transfer the frozen waffles to a freezer-safe bag or container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To reheat, pop the frozen waffles into a toaster or toaster oven until heated through and crisp. Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
