Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Diced pepperoni
• 0.25 cup Finely chopped green bell pepper
• 0.5 cup Marinara sauce (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or olive oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and olive oil until smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, diced pepperoni, and chopped green bell pepper, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for the muffins to rise.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
