Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Diced pepperoni
- 0.25 cup Finely chopped green bell pepper
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and olive oil until smooth and well-combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, diced pepperoni, and chopped green bell pepper, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for the muffins to rise.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
