20 Calorie Kiwi Lime Angel Food Cupcakes...sure, they're tiny, but who cares?

I have wanted to make this recipe since I got the Ninja Cooking System. They look amazing in the picture, and the recipe seemed easy enough. And, it was, really. Next time I make them, however, I will:

Remember to add the other 2 Tablespoons of sugar.
Spray the muffin pan with Pam.
Let the eggs get a little stiffer before I add the lime zest and juice.
Get two limes.
Slice the kiwis thinner.




I used the silicone muffin pan that came with the machine for the first batch. The picture in the recipe book makes them look taller than they came out. By the time I scraped them out, they were just tiny balls of goodness. I used a little tin that came with a kid's mini cupcake kit I got for the girl a while back for the second batch. They came out more like cupcakes, but I still had to scrape them out, which meant they lost their shape.

Overall, they were quite good. And, for TWENTY calories each, even Weight Watchers would support this dessert. (It's actually a little less since I ate 1/3 of the kiwi on its own.)


Also, someone remind me to buy good picture-taking dishes.
