Cinnamon Breadcrumbs

I was answering a comment on the site and thought about these.  Thanks for the inspiration Lisa!  I thought these sounded so good sprinkled over my yogurt I went in and made them right away.  And they were!  A very simple solution to changing up my daily yogurt and a fresh new way to get my oat bran!!  I can’t wait to see what else I can do with these!  They take a little effort but they are well worth it!!

CINNAMON OAT BRAN BREADCRUMBS

6 T Oat Bran
3 T nonfat cream cheese
3 eggs or 3/4 cup egg whites
1 t Splenda, I use 2 T zero calorie brown sugar
1 T cinnamon
1 t vanilla
pinch of salt
3-4 T water

Whisk the first three ingredients together and add  a tablespoon of water at a time until you get it to crepe batter consistency.  Pour 1/4 cup of the mixture into a large non-stick skillet coated with cooking spray.

Tilt the pan until the batter has made a large thin circle and brown the first side, flipping after small air bubbles appear on the surface.

Brown the other side.  After I made all the crepes I toasted them to get them nice and brown.

Then I put them in a food processor after they cooled and processed to breadcrumb consistency.

Then I toasted the breadcrumbs at 350 for 25-35 minutes, until nice and brown and crispy. They almost resembled granola.  Keep unused breadcrumbs in the fridge.
