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!

We were told we’d lost interest, or that we needed to try harder; some of us quit entirely. It took having an active teenage daughter for the scientist and mother in me to go looking for answers—and...
You Didn't Lose Fitness, You Lost Fuel
If you grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s, you were handed two contradictory rulebooks. First, fat was the enemy. Then, almost overnight, fat was fine and carbohydrate was the problem. Neither was built on good science, and neither was built with active women in mind, yet both stuck. I see the impact everywhere: women who are highly active, lift heavy, know what they’re doing—and still hesitate whe...
What My Grandmothers Taught Me About Aging Well
My great-grandmother lived to 105. One of my grandmothers made it to 106. The other was 97 when she died. While the numbers on their own don’t tell you much, I can tell you what it actually looked like. All three lived independently. All three had their faculties—sharp, opinionated, entirely themselves right to the end. You’d walk into my great-grandmother’s house and before your coat was off...
