Oopsie Challenge - Zedgirl's Pancakes and Cleo's Sub Buns

Posted Sep 07 2008 7:57pm
Zedgirl (the sassy rooster on the left), a creative ALC member, makes gorgeous pancakes using the Oopsie recipe and the Almond Pecan Waffle recipe from Low Carb Cookworx (scroll down to Episode 15 for the original recipe):

For as long as I’ve been low-carbing I’ve been trying to make abendywrap that doesn’t require any wheat or soy ingredients.I’ve never had any luck and had given up until now. Oopsies were my inspiration, but I wanted something that was a bit more of a workhorse, so I used the ‘Almond Pecan Waffles’ recipe from the Low Carb Cookworx site (episode 15)as my base recipe but left out the pecans, added some different gums (similar to Thicken/Thin), tweaked it a little in the preparation and used a sandwich toaster/press as the method of cooking.

It’s basically a cream cheese and egg pancake (an Oopsie) with some cream, almond meal, gum and protein powder added.
I’m thrilled with the result and this was only my first attempt...

This ishowI made them. I won’t post the recipe because I’ve converted everything to grams etc., just use the (Cookworx) link above.Sift dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, soften cream cheese for a fewseconds in the microwave on a very low setting. Using a whisk, gradually mix the whipping cream into the softened cream cheese. Next add the lightly beaten egg a little at a time, beating after each addition. Mixture should be smooth. Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Pour some of the batter onto sandwich toaster; gently close lid and cook for about 1 minute. If making pikelets, leave the lid up and turn after 2 minutes.

Here's the result - looks amazing, either as a pancake or as a wrap/crepe.


Cleo, the queen of the Oopsie, baked Oopsie batter in mini loaf pans and got herself sub buns!


Sounds so simple, but I'd never have thought of it. I'm so used to doing without subs that they don't even register. Now...it's a different story! Meatball subs were always my favorite, and I'll be digging into her recipe sometime this week - if I get to the Farmer's Market for some ground beef, that is.

Both of these recipes would be great for kids, both to eat and to help make. I know several people who struggle with making one low carb or gluten-free meal for themselves, and a "normal" meal for their family. Oopsies make it a whole lot easier to create a new "normal".

Keep 'em coming!
