This was great! I used a whole egg instead of just the whites, and unsalted peanuts. I ended up just putting the crushed peanuts in with the baking mix and it worked fine. If you have fresh okra in your garden this is the BEST way to use them! You might even convert an okra hater to an okra lover with this recipe.
