1 x 110g jar Heinz® baby apple
½ cup skim milk
2 tablespoons (30g) Flora® Light margarine melted
½ cup mashed ripe banana

1 cup canned blueberries (well drained)
Method:
Preheat oven 200ºC fan forced.
1: Beat egg whites and sugar in a medium size mixing bowl for 1 minute using an electric beater.

3: Combine milk with melted margarine then add to mix stirring with a wooden spoon.
4: Place mashed banana into bowl and mix together.
