Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Cupcakes | Handle the Heat. Sweet Light Angel Food Cupcakes with Meringue Icing. Ok folks, hope you are all enjoying your Cinco De Mayo recipes, but I have not forgotten that Mother's Day in only a few short days. Why not make your Mom the sweetest, light and airy angel foods cupcake you'll ever taste! These deliciously airy cupcakes are made with love from scratch with egg whites, flour, sugar and vanilla and topped with a creamy, airy merengue icing that just melts in your mouth; the fact that they are fat free is just an added bonus.

I've had my eye on these cupcakes from the Kitchn for a long time and when I finally got around to making them, they did not disappoint! Seriously, I will never buy an angel food cake from a box again. Probably for the more intermediate baker, a bit more delicate to make then using a box mix and requires a little more patience. But isn't Mom worth it?! Take your time, add the ingredients slowly and make sure your eggs are at room temperature before starting. Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan. Pink Meringue Icing. Chocolate Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins with Glaze. Any chocolate lovers out there? These double chocolate muffins made with bananas, chocolate chips and cocoa powder are moist and choco-licious!

If you like the thought of eating chocolate for breakfast, then this is for you! There are many chocolate lovers in my house, and these muffins disappeared quickly. I added a glaze on top for presentation, I like how it contrasts over the dark chocolate, but for the flavor you don't even need it; either way the points remain the same. This recipe makes 12 large muffins, you could probably even get 14 if you fill the muffin tins 3/4 full. Ingredients: 3 1/2 ripe medium bananas, mashed1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce1 1/4 cups unbleached all purpose flour1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder3/4 tsp baking soda1/4 tsp salt2 tbsp butter, softened1/3 cup sugar2 large egg whites1/2 tsp vanilla extract1/2 cup chocolate chips2 tbsp confectioners sugar (optional) Directions: Preheat oven to 325°.
