Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce (for dipping, optional)
- 0.25 cup Sliced black olives, diced bell peppers, or other optional toppings
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and Italian seasoning.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk and melted butter until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped pepperoni, and any additional toppings such as diced bell peppers or olives.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a side of pizza sauce for dipping, if desired. Enjoy!
