• In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until they are well-frothed but not stiff. If you have meringue, you've gone to far. Add the yogurt and almond extract and beat a few more seconds.

• Fill muffin cups two-thirds full and bake for 18-20 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin should come out clean.
