Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 Large egg
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Mini pepperoni slices
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce (for serving)
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and dried Italian seasoning.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk and egg until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and mini pepperoni slices until evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake 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.
Allow the Pepperoni Pizza Puffs to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove them and serve warm.
For dipping, serve with warmed pizza sauce on the side.
