Baked Egg Whites

I know this is already out there on the internet, but I also know I was frustrated in trying to find out the tips and tricks to making them.  So here is a run down on the basic idea - I'm still fine tuning my recipe :)

Baked Egg Whites (aka Egg White Puffs)

 Base Ingredients: (for the amount shown in the pic)

1/2 c Egg Whites (I used from a carton)

about 1/2 c or a little less of Stevia (experiment with this because the amount greatly depends on the type            of stevia you use - I use Stevia in the Raw which is very fluffy and light)

1-2 tsp of vanilla (again I eyed it instead of measured)

Optional Ingredients: Try these additions for a little change up, I divide up the whipped egg whites and make different flavors from the same batch

 1 tsp Unsweetened Cocoa

or

1-2 tsp Cinnamon

Other ingredients you could try (but I haven't yet) are different spices - think like what you would put in a cake or pie, ie Apple Pie Spice, Pumpkin Spice, etc

Mixing:

I used my whip attachment on my Kitchen Aid Mixer and whipped the egg whites til they formed stiff peaks. Then I fold in the rest of the base ingredients. Then separated out about a third and folded in some extras!

Baking:

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
Scoop onto a cookie sheet spritzed with Pam in tablespoon portions
Bake for 14 min or so depending on  your oven (look for the peaks to turn golden) - the cocoa ones take a bit longer

You can eat them warm but I like them cooled

Enjoy!
