Recipe: High-Protein Pancakes

by Dr. Stacy Sims
May 22, 2025

 

A tasty, nutritious way to start the day.

"These are great for breakfast; they won't leave you feeling lethargic and give you a big hit of protein." —SS

 

Ingredients:

1 cup oats 

1 cup low-fat (2%) cottage cheese 

½  cup egg whites 

¼ cup oat milk 

2 tsp. baking powder 

2 tsp. vanilla extract 

1 tsp. cinnamon

 


 

Instructions:

Servings: 2  |  Prep Time: 10 minutes  |  Cook Time: 3-6 minutes 

Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender or food processor and blend. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to thicken up. 

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and spray with oil.  

Use a ¼ measuring cup to pour batter onto the pan. Cook in batches to allow space between pancakes. Cook for about 3 minutes or until edges form and you see bubbles on the side of the pancakes. Then, flip pancakes and cook for another 3 minutes or until pancakes are golden brown. Remove pancakes. 

Spray pan with oil and repeat until all batter is cooked. 

Add your favorite toppings!
