Oopsie Challenge - Recipes!

Time to catch up on the Oopsie challenge - work and other activities have gotten the best of me lately, but I am now firmly back on track and seeking creative, delicious ways to use these things.

Zedgirl, from ALC, made crepes:

I added a couple of teaspoons of water to loosen the mixture and pressed down firmly on the lid (on sandwich press) after closing it. It started to squeal when I did this (bit like cooking a potato in the microwave without piercing it first) but I just ignored it. They were cooked in under 20 seconds. I also added in a couple of teaspoons of sesame seed meal (in lieu of all almond meal) just because I could - and to see if it made any difference to the taste and texture. Once again I was thrilled with the result:
Pennink, another ALC member, made a delicious looking pizza:

Locarbbarb went for pancakes:

I made Oopsie Roll Pancakes this morning. I figured if you could make waffles out of them, then you could make pancakes, too. They were so good, they tasted like bread pudding!

I added 1/2 scoop of vanilla whey powder to the yolks, plus 1/2 tsp. of vanilla. I used 2 drops Sweetzfree instead of the Splenda. Cooked them just like regular pancakes - used a 1/3 cup for each pancake and got 10. I nuked them for about 1 min. on medium to make sure the insides were fully cooked before serving.

I ate 5 with SF syrup and DH ate 5 (they are so light!) Magnifique!

And misschriss had an idea that I am all over - "dough-not" holes:

The other night I cut the oopsie into cubes, tossed them over heat with butter to coat and then threw them in a ziploc of granular splenda and cinnamon and had "dough-not" holes!!, they were delish!!

I'd better start getting creative here. Hopefully the recipe will hold up as well with mayo as it does with cream cheese - I figure with added flax or nut meals, I can still get a tasty result.

Thanks everyone for your recipes! Keep them coming. There's a world of gluten-free folks out there who need a break from rice bread.

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

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 a bendy wrap 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 is how I 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 few seconds 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!
