This is excellent! I added Craisins and not as much splenda. A little honey (more for the honey flavor) and put them in mini muffin tins. YUMMY!

This was pretty good for a healthy snack, and very easy to make (separating 9 egg whites was the most time-consuming step) . I loved that it used no flour. I made mine with blueberries, and ended up with 8 large muffins (did the math and found only 80 calories per muffin!). I will likely make these again, next time with a little extra cinnamon and some small chunks of apple.
