Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, oregano, and garlic powder.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, oil, and egg.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the mozzarella cheese and pepperoni.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Place a small spoonful (about 1/2 teaspoon) of pizza sauce on top of the batter in each muffin cup.
  8. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can substitute other pizza toppings like cooked sausage or chopped bell peppers.
  • These muffins freeze well for future lunch packing. Cool completely before freezing in an airtight container.
