  6. Pour in the egg white mixture and stir until incorporated.
  7. Fill the mini muffin wells with the batter, using a cookie scoop or spoon (filling it about ⅞ths of the way.)

  9. Add a sprinkling of chopped almonds (optional).
  10. Gently tap the tray to release any bubbles.
  11. Bake at 350°F/177°C for 18-20 minutes until lightly golden brown, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
