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!

The scientist in me had been curious about this for a while, so it wasn’t entirely surprising, but it still told me something. I know for a fact there were badas...
Coffee, Decoded: What the Research Actually Says About Caffeine and Women
I'll say it upfront: I love my coffee. My mornings typically start with a strong cup, and many of the active women I know have a similar habit. So it's worth asking a question that doesn't get asked enough: how do we actually know caffeine affects us the way we think it does when most of the research behind these assumptions was done on men? This gap matters more than you'd think. Caffeine is...
Exercise and Aging: What Active Women Need to Know
In my previous newsletter, I examined three terms that reshape how active women should think about aging: longevity, healthspan, and peakspan. The takeaway was this: most of us spend the majority of our adult lives in a “healthy but declined” state, and neither living longer nor avoiding illness fully captures what we're actually trying to protect. This week, I want to get specific—because ex...
