Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring to form a smooth batter.
Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, diced pepperoni, and grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pizza puffs are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the pizza puffs from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a serving plate.
Serve warm with a side of pizza sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
