Pizza Muffins (adapted from Lick The Bowl)
Makes 24 mini muffins
3/4 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
pinch of salt (optional)
3/4 cup milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or whatever kind of cheese you want)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup cubed pepperoni (I left the pepperoni out b/c my daughter isn't a big fan of it)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Generously grease a 24-cup mini-muffin pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, seasonings, and salt (if using) ; whisk in the milk and egg. Stir in the cheeses and pepperoni; let stand for 10 minutes.
2. Stir the batter and divide among the mini-muffin cups. Bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, microwave the pizza sauce until warmed through. Serve the muffins with the pizza sauce for dipping.
