Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce
  • Optional: chopped fresh basil for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line with mini muffin liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, oregano, garlic powder, and salt.
  3. Add the milk and egg to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni slices.
  5. Spoon the batter into the mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  6. Place a small dollop of pizza sauce on top of each muffin and use a toothpick to swirl it slightly into the batter.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving.

Notes

These muffins freeze well! Just pop them in the microwave for a quick snack later on. You can customize the toppings by adding other favorite pizza ingredients, like diced bell peppers or olives.
