MINI PIZZA MUFFINS



Mini Pizza Muffins image

Mini corn muffins with pizza toppings are a great snack or tucked into a lunchbox. My kids love these. Can be frozen and reheated as most muffins. I have added garlic, spices, and cheese to the batter, also some fresh corn added to the batter would be nice.

Provided by MommyMakes

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 35m

Yield 36-48 mini muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fine yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup pizza sauce or 1/2 cup marinara sauce
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup cooked sausage or 1/3 cup vegetables

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400ºF and line 36 mini muffin cups with paper liners or grease a mini muffin pan.
  • Sift the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, blend the egg, milk, and oil. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and add the liquid. Stir just until combined.
  • In a small bowl combine pizza sauce and parmesan.
  • Spoon the muffin batter into the muffin cups evenly, filling them about 1/2-3/4 full. Spoon about 1 tsp of sauce mixture on top of each one mixing slightly. Then sprinkle with chopped pepperoni or other desired finely chopped pizza toppings. Shredded mozzarella does better if you wait until they are almost done baking and just let it melt over.
  • Bake the muffins for 15 minutes, until they puff and brown at the edges. Cool in the pan for several minutes then serve.

Tips:

  • Use store-bought pizza dough or make your own using the recipe provided in the article. If using store-bought dough, let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before using.
  • Use any type of pizza toppings you like. Some popular options include pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and olives.
  • Be careful not to overfill the muffin cups. The dough should only come up to about 2/3 full.
  • Bake the mini pizzas in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the mini pizzas cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be served hot or cold.

Conclusion:

Mini pizza muffin cups are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick and easy meal. With so many different topping options, there is a mini pizza muffin cup for everyone to enjoy.
