Notes: The original recipe didn't call for flour--that was my addition to help the flake cereal adhere. The original recipe also called for much more egg whites, which wasn't needed. Do not reheat in the microwave.

Notes 2: I slightly prefer this recipe over the second one. I think this one is slightly less messy to make.
