January has been National Oatmeal Month, and we sure celebrated with more recipes than we ever imagined. Oatmeal turns out to be kind of fascinating. Here’s a particularly unique recipe that lets us feel like fancy cooks without much work. It comes from MomGettingFit, and has the ability to turn even the most anti-oatmeal person into an oatmeal lover with just one serving. Now we need to get back to seeing what else we’ve done here with National Oatmeal Month. There are still five more shopping days left! [photo via momgettingfit]
Ingredients
2 cups Egg Whites
1 cup quick Oatmeal
Peanut Butter
Honey
Directions
Blend the quick oats in a blender at high speed. This will make it more powder-like. Set it aside.
Pour 2 cups egg whites into the blender and blend on low speed.
Slowly add the quick oats back to the blender. Once both are blended a little, turn the speed to high and blend for 30 seconds.
Spray a skillet with Pam and heat to medium.
Slowly pour in the batter. The more you pour in the pan, the bigger it will be so adjust accordingly. Once in the pan you can thin it out by lifting the pan off the burner and swirling it a little to spread the batter out wider (Note: The batter will be very thin, kind of watery, not thick like pancake batter).
Once cooked on one side, flip it over.
While cooking the other side, spread the peanut butter. When it is done place it on a plate, roll it up and top with honey.
This recipe yields 2 medium sized crepes.
Tips
Vary this recipe to suit your tastes. Add fresh fruit inside the crepes, or top with sugar-free chocolate syrup. Serve with fresh fruit on the side.
