I made up this recipe looking for an easy high protein meal and snack.

One can light tuna 6 ounces. 175 cal
16 ounces of egg whites. 240 cal
2 cups of quaker oatmeal. 600 cal



Beat the egg whites until they are fluffy.
Add the quaker oats let it soak for 10 min
Blend the tuna in blender add a tbsp water.
Stir that into the oat egg mixture then make very small cakes in a muffin tin an inch high.
Put a few dry oatmeal grains on top.
Cook in oven for 7 min on 350-400f.

option: add mae ploy thai green curry paste 1tbls
option 2: capers, parsley

cal per cake = 1015 / how many cakes you make

    They are really good with the curry paste.

    Watch out they can get to dense if you make them to big.

    Sounds really yummy, couple of questions though - how many eggs approximately make 16 ounces of egg whites? and cals per cake - are they seriously 1015???

    they work out to about 100- 130 cal. per cake depending how thick you make them

    1015 cal divided by the amount of cakes you make.


    i just made a corn version:

    Blend together:
    one can tuna
    puree corn equal to tuna
    3 tbsp cornmeal

    parmesan on top with oats.

    other then that i did the same as the other recipe.

    i made these and all i have to add is: dont make these too thick....i also think next time i will add some spices...they seemed blah to me...
    maybe im just too used to eating tuna salad with pickle and onion and i was expecting more flavor...

    overall i think i think ill make these again :)
