Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 1.25 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 cups Fresh strawberries (hulled and chopped)
• 1 cup Fresh rhubarb (chopped)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate large bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, honey, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

Step 5

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 6

For the strawberry rhubarb compote, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruit breaks down and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with a generous spoonful of strawberry rhubarb compote on top. Enjoy!
