The view from our rental.
My husband and I just got back from an awesome beach vacation with some great friends, and I think I was trying to bring back a little of that ocean-side vibe when I started experimenting with these flavors. Little did I know I was creating what would quickly become one of my very favorite Weight Watcher friendly items for breakfast or just a sweet treat. You won’t believe that these are only one point each. They’re sweet, fruity, and melt-in-your-mouth fabulous. If you have an air fryer (my favorite is this Go Wise Air Fryer)*, they reheat to perfection there with tasty caramelized edges. Mmmmm. ~Erin

Are these mini muffins?
Deb, they aren’t really muffins at all. More moist and packed with fruit. They are made in a full size muffin tin though, yes.
