Notes
- Each cheeseburger bite has 1 Smart Point (blue plan).
- Modifying ingredients may affect cook time. If the bottoms of the burger bites are still soft, extend the cook time by a few minutes. Be careful not to overcook (don't burn the tops).
- You can use any muffin tin you'd like but because people tend to ask, this is the one I use.
