Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Cooked sausage, crumbled or diced
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni, diced
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt, and Italian seasoning.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until a batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the cooked sausage, shredded mozzarella, and diced pepperoni until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce into the bottom of each muffin cup.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 of the way full.
Top each muffin with a small spoonful of pizza sauce and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
