Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Fold in the granola using a spatula, distributing it evenly throughout the batter.
Spray the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron (adjust to its size) and close the lid.
Cook the waffle until golden brown and crispy, typically about 4-5 minutes, or until the waffle iron indicates that it is done.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the waffle iron between batches as needed.
Serve the waffles warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, additional granola, or a dollop of yogurt.
