These are for breakfast tomorrow, but I made them this afternoon.  They are from the WW Cookbook and are 4 WW points.  These were actually good.  I am going to have them with the green smoothie from yesterday for breakfast tomorrow.  I will make Jim bacon and eggs.  He ate one this afternoon after I finished and pronounced them good.

  5. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.  
  6. Sprinkle tops with pumpkin seeds.
