If you do any amount of baking, it's only natural that you'll end up with a few extra egg whites on hand now and again, so what better to use them for than some egg white recipes? While we're big fans of putting them to use in gorgeous pavlovas, heavenly angel food cakes, to-die-for macarons and crisp meringue, those are just four of the many terrific ways out there to use them up. Check these recipes out!
Pumpkin Magic Cake
We already love plain cake, but this delicious recipe takes the classic dessert to the next level. It features three layers: sponge, custard, and fudge for a mix of textures and flavors we can't get enough of. If you're a pumpkin lover, leave the recipe as-is, but feel free to leave out until pumpkin spice season. (via Brit + Co)
Twice-Baked Potato Chip Soufflé
We didn't think potato chips could get any better, but then we figured out that they make a pretty awesome addition to everything from oysters to ice cream (yes really!) to soufflés. Using cheddar chips adds some extra cheesy goodness in addition to the bacon, potatoes, and cheese. (via Brit + Co)
Gluten-Free Cloud Bread
Cloud bread is fluffy, tasty, and the fact that it's gluten-free is just the cherry on top. Top with your favorite jam, or with the classic peanut butter + banana + chocolate chip breakfast combo. Not only are they easy but they'll also take you under 30 minutes to make! (via Brit + Co)
Eggnog Colada
This recipe combines a classic summer cocktail with a winter staple, and turns them into something that you'll want to drink all year long. Turns out, pineapple and coconut taste great with eggnog. (via Brit + Co)
Robin's Egg Macarons
Egg whites will help you make seriously airy macarons. A little bit of blue food coloring (as well as flicking some black food coloring once they're on the pan) gives these treats that recognizable robin's egg look. Just make sure you save enough of the chocolate buttercream filling to lick the spoon! (via Barley & Sage)
Egg White Frittata with Spinach and Peppers
We love that this gluten-free recipe is full of peppers, spinach, and cheese, which means that it's both tasty *and* healthy. Plus it'll take you less than 30 minutes, which makes it a great option for anyone who doesn't have a ton of time in the morning. (via A Spicy Perspective)
Chocolate-Glazed Almond Horn Egg White Recipe
Chewy-crispy almond cookies are an absolute pleasure to nibble on, especially when they're half covered in a delicious dark chocolate glaze. Just consider this a sophisticated version of chocolate-covered almonds! (via Love and Olive Oil)
Spiced Cocktail Nuts
We love snacking on nuts when we're hungry, whether it's during our workday or any time during the weekend, but sometimes we want more than just plain salt. Set these sweet, spiced nuts out for your next shindig, or package them up as a thoughtful gift. (via Daisy's World)
Egg White Chocolate Brownies
You won't even notice the absence of yolks in these unbelievably fudgy brownies. Top with a dusting of powdered sugar, some chopped walnuts, or both! (via Foodie Baker)
Caramel Crunch Cake Egg White Recipe
Meringue layers make this heavenly whipped cream and caramel cake ever so slightly more virtuous… at least that's what we'll keep telling ourselves. (via Getting My Just Desserts)
Gluten-Free Healthy Banana Cake With Peanut Butter Frosting
Greek yogurt and egg whites are just two of the healthy hacks employed to make this delicious cake. If you're someone who enjoys eating bananas slathered with peanut butter (or with a spoonful instead), then this one's for you. (via Desserts with Benefits)
Shakshuka Egg White Frittata With Turkey Sausage
The punchy flavors of this shakshuka-inspired frittata taste so good that you won't even remember that it's made from egg whites. That's some recipe magic right there! The turkey sausage is a great alternative to pork because it has less calories and saturated fats. (via Domesticate Me)
Champagne Marshmallows
Whether you prefer them roasted over a campfire or baked into sweet potatoes, you can't deny that marshmallows are a delicious addition to just about everything. Enjoy these springy homemade versions spiked with a splash of fizzy Champagne at your next birthday bash. (via Brit + Co)
White Chocolate Cream Cheese Mousse
Tangy cream cheese and sweet white chocolate balance one another out to create a tempting mousse that everyone will want to try. (via Saveur)
Puffed Cheddar Cheese Twists
Egg whites bind these flaky, sharp cheddar cheese twists just so. Pair them with tomato soup, nibble on them one after the other, or even bring them to your next movie night. (via Fifteen Spatulas)
