My Protein Pancakes recipe


Ok... if you ever get a chance to come over to my house for dinner and my wife Michelle is cooking, you're in for a treat!  She can cook up some excellent meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks...

One of my favorite meals that we eat for breakfast (or better yet DINNER) is Protein Pancakes...

Traditional pancakes contain a lot of carbohydrates from processed sources, leaving little in the way of quality nutrition...

Protein Pancakes are LOADED with protein, complex carbohydrates from natural sources and vitamins...

Here is our recipe that tastes amazing and is easy for any wrestler to prepare...

Protein Pancakes Ingredients:
  • 6 egg whites
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup oatmeal (whole natural oats... not prepackaged crap)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp raw honey
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Place egg whites, cottage cheese, oatmeal, cinnamon and honey in a blender, and blend until smooth.

Heat a griddle to roughly 400 degrees.

Use non-stick spray on the griddle... then add contents from blender.  When done cooking both sides, place on plate.  Use a bit of 'natural' maple syrup to taste.

This is a great meal that you can use during wrestling season to help with repair of lean tissue as well as keep your muscles loaded with glycogen.
