Ginger Bread Toasties

Ginger Bread Toasties
_________________________________


* 16 extra large or jumbo egg whites
* 2 cups oatmeal ground into flour using blender or food processor
* ½ cup pourable Splenda
* 2 tablespoons Sugar Twin Brown Sugar Substitute, optional
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
* 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon (same as 4 teaspoons) ground ginger
* 1 tablespoon cinnamon
* ½ teaspoon nutmeg
* ½ teaspoon cloves
* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8 of the small individual aluminum pot pie pans with Pam** and wipe with a paper towel to remove any excess. (Or if you have the 4" muffin top tins, you can bake these in them if they will hold ¼ cup of batter.) Line pan with Reynolds Release

Separate egg whites into a large mixing bowl. Beat until light and frothy with a whisk. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk until well mixed. These come out real spicy. You can adjust the amounts of spices to your taste. Use a ¼ cup measuring cup and scoop out ¼ cup into each prepared pan. Put the pot pie pans on a cookie sheet and
bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until done and beginning to brown around the edges.
Watch closely the first time. Let cool a few minutes, then turn out, using a fork to loosen along the edges if needed. Once cooled, these can be frozen in individual baggies. To reheat, just pop in the toaster. If frozen, I usually let them thaw overnight and then push the toaster button down twice to get them hot all the way through.

This will make 8 large toasties each containing a protein and carb serving.
