How to Make Light Egg Whites Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 6 large egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (do not overbeat).
  4. Gradually add 1/4 cup granulated sugar to the egg whites, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. Gently fold in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
  6. Gently stir in the melted butter until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  7. Fill 12 muffin cups about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
