In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle, or as recommended by your waffle iron guidelines.

Step 8

Cook each waffle until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes, depending on the strength of your waffle iron.

Step 9

Serve the waffles warm with fresh berries and a light drizzle of honey for added sweetness and nutrition.

Step 10

Enjoy your heart-healthy high-protein waffles as a delightful start to your day!
