Made with a wholesome mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flours, these pancakes strike a delightful balance between health and indulgence.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, honey, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
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.
For the strawberry rhubarb compote, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Stir to combine.
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.
Serve the pancakes warm with a generous spoonful of strawberry rhubarb compote on top. Enjoy!
