By Kalyn]]> Sounds interesting, and this recipe is getting bookmarked for my round-up of South Beach Diet Phase One Recipes for October.

BTW, am I allowed to get a bit motherly and say don't waste money on the oatmeal packets. Just buy regular oatmeal (in a cylinder-shaped package) or even better, extra-thick rolled oats (in health foods section) and then add some water and salt (very important) and cook it in the microwave. I do it that way, then stir in peanut butter to make one of my favorite breakfasts.

By fd]]> you can call them what you like, they look lovely! it makes me wonder what else i could add to a egg white mix that i haven't thought of. to be either a pancake or a crepe they would need flour, and without, they're more peanutbutter omelet with sugar. But you're right, that doesn't sound as appealing as crepe.

By Sara]]> I am mildly nauseous yet intrigued at the same time. You had me at "peanut butter"--if you mixed a handful of broken china pieces with a cup of driveway gravel into peanut butter I'd be tempted to spread it on crackers and risk the broken teeth and guaranteed intestinal surgery.

I see peanut butter & egg white 'crepes' in my future this week...

But for the moment, you've reminded me of my favorite breakfast of chocolate peanut butter oatmeal (steel cut oats, water, pinch of salt, 2 heaping T of cocoa powder, splenda and 2 tsp of peanut butter plopped right on top of the piping hot concoction where it melts down over it in a river of peanut-buttery goodness.

Hungry. So very hungry...

By Julie]]> So how long did it take you for you to not want to put syrup all over them?

By PastaQueen]]> @Kalyn - I've tried that before and it just doesn't taste that good to me. Sorry! I'm sure it's better for me though.

By Isabelle]]> If I have spare egg yolks, I put them in the fridge covered with cling film and leave them for a few days. And THEN I throw them away - once they've got all hard and yucky.

I know your way is better, but I was brought up after the war and, you know, one can't throw away good food.

By s]]> pb crepes. this is an ingenious idea. i don't cook with splenda, but i'll have to try it with sugar some time ... yums.

By Deb]]> Wouldn't these be delicious with some jam on them? I haven't tried the fake sugar jam yet, but I may. Or just get the all fruit kind and only use a little. Like a PBJ sandwich. I'm putting this one in my "to try" file in my recipe box. Thanks.
Hope you're back on track. We love and enjoy you no matter what.

Hope you're well!

By Lyrehca]]> Another oatmeal gal here. For several years, I ate oatmeal (instant, microwaved) with peanut butter, raspberries or blueberries and a packet of splenda mixed in. Awesome. A deconstructed PB&J of sorts... though the above poster who mixes in cocoa has intrigued me...

By Lis]]> oooh sounds yummy, but I'm not a fan of cooking with splenda. Do you think applesauce might work instead?

By Esmeralda]]> Hey! I had the same problem with creepies (lol, pet name for crepes) or omlettes too. But watching the wise and all knowing Alton Brown has taught me that if you make tears in the bottom while it's cooking, letting more uncooked goop come into contact with the bottom of the pan, and do that *as much as possible* (like sort of scrambling gently without disturbing the edges) then you will be able to flip it and it will come out PERFECTLY.

btw, peanut butter in creepies sounds genius.

By Erin]]> @Kalyn -

I do something similar with the quick oats, but I toss in fresh fruit (either blueberries, bananas, strawberries, or applesauce if I'm feeling lazy) and always add in some skim milk to make it creamier. Again, sure it's not as healthy as your recipe, but I figure I'm losing the preservatives and whatnot and trying to be a little bit more natural.

By Marla]]> Heh. "Pretty is overrated." True dat.

(do people say "true dat" anymore?)

I buy the egg whites in the carton. It's more expensive than buying the whole egg and separating it, but it's 1. easier, and 2. no guilt about waste.

By JEM]]> Peanut Butter & Eggs!?!?! I never would have thought of that in a million years. I usually make feista eggs with salsa and fresh veggies....well you have made me curious, I am going to try out this recipe over the weekend.

elty commented on 'Peanut butter crepes'

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:13:25 -0500

By elty]]> Alright, crepes! Or, in my mother's house, pancakes. She always used a long, narrow (metal) cake icing spreader instead of a square spatula to flip them, easing the long blade under the entire pancake, lifting up with it draped over in half, then gently laying it down, first one half, then turning the blade to roll out the rest of the pancake. Takes practice, sure. And the batter had to be spread thinly in the pan (lift the pan and swirl at first pour), with bubbles coming through the middle before flipping. Though that was with a batter containing milk and flour, maybe different for egg whites-only?

By maggie]]> PastaQueen - these are awesome! I made a version of them yesterday for breakfast after I saw your post - 4 egg whites, 1 T of Almond Butter, splenda, topped with applesauce, raspberries, and honey. Yummo. Wish I'd had some whipped cream though. I will be making these a lot.

Dawn commented on 'Peanut butter crepes'

By Dawn]]> These sound really good I'll have to give them a try. I make an oatmeal pancake that is tasty too. Since I have a family of 5 I make a large batch but you could 1/2 or 1/4 it.

1.5 cups quacker oats (you can just use these whole or grind them in a food processer if you want a smoother mix, I just dump them in)
5 egg whites
1/2 cup applesauce
2 scoop protein powder any flavor
2 packets splenda
1/2 cup lowfat milk
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla

When these are done I either eat them with sugar free syrup or I will use two and put peanut butter and all fruit in between. They are yummy and the kids like them too.

By Stephanie Diehl]]> I made these this morning and they were great! I had to think of them as "pancakes" though, and put some sf syrup on them. Definately better than the same old scrambled eggs every morning, and just as easy!
I also like the same recipe but with splenda and cinnamon, and instead of peanut butter some low fat cream cheese.

Kristin commented on 'Peanut butter crepes'

By Kristin]]> recipe sounds great! I am going to have to try it. What about substituting the eggs for egg beaters? And subbing the peanut butter for the powdered peanut butter--reconsituted with water of course--PB2 is awesome. It is only 50 calories per two tablespoons vs 190 calories. Just a thought to save some calories at fat--I am going to have to try this!
