I made some banana souffle that is supposed to be fat free and 99 calories a serving. It was really good! I hate it when you make something in a magazine and it doesn't turn out right or it isn't very good. I would make this again though. It taste like a cross between merengue and marshmallow cream with a natural banana flavor. It's sweeter than what I thought it would be and it cooks up with a syrup on the outside like flan does. The top can have that creme brulee like melted sugar crust too. So I thought I would post it:
2 large bananas pureed (should make 1 cup)
6 Tablespoon sugar
2 Tablespoon water
pinch ground cinnamon
3 large egg whites room temp.
pinch salt
1. In small saucepan combine 4 Tablespoons sugar with water. Bring to a boil and cook for one minute to make a syrup. Add in the banana puree and continue to cook to a boil. Remove from heat and add cinnamon.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 6 (4oz) ramekins with nonstick cooking spray and coat with some granulated sugar. Place in rimmed baking sheet.
3. In bowl beat the egg whites and salt until frothy. Add 2 Tablespoons sugar and continue to beat until soft peaks form. (This takes a while) then add in the banana puree til just blended. Divide among ramekins. Sprinkle a little sugar on top.
4. Bake 12 minutes or until golden brown and well risen.

There is an optional chocolate sauce, my dh liked it but I preferred mine plain:
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsweetened dutch processed cocoa powder
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tsp vanilla
1. Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in saucepan and bring to a boil over medium until sugar dissolves.
2. Remove from heat stir in salt. Sift in cocoa powder over hot syrup and whisk to blend, place back on stove on medium and whisk until smooth.
3. Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla and butter.
