These waffles are a healthy and wholesome way to start your day. They're made with whole-wheat flour, rolled oats, and a touch of cinnamon. They're also dairy-free and egg-free, so they're perfect for people with dietary restrictions.

I've been making these waffles for years, and they're always a hit with my family and friends. I originally developed the recipe as a way to use up some leftover whole-wheat flour. But I quickly realized that these waffles were so much more than just a way to use up leftovers. They're delicious, nutritious, and easy to make. And they're the perfect way to start your day.
