Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.75 cup Mini pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh basil (optional)
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, Italian seasoning, and sugar.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, mini pepperoni slices, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until evenly distributed.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy these delicious, cheesy pizza muffins!
