• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.75 cup Mini pepperoni slices
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh basil (optional)
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, Italian seasoning, and sugar.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, mini pepperoni slices, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake the muffins 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.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.

Step 9

Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving.
