2 teaspoons garlic powder (or to taste, I use 2 tsps.)

1/4 cup cooking oil
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees.

  • In a bowl combine the pepperoni, green pepper, mushrooms, onion, grated cheese, pizza sauce, garlic powder and chilies; mix well to comine.
  • Add in eggs and oil; mix well to combine.
  • In a small bowl, mix together flour and baking powder.
  • Add to the wet mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until smooth.
  • Spoon and divide the mixture evenly into muffin tins.
  • Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Serve warm or cooled.
  • Store any leftover muffins wrapped in the refrigerator or freeze.

Tips:

  • For the perfect crispy crust, use a muffin tin with a non-stick coating or line it with parchment paper.
  • If you don't have a muffin tin, you can also use a regular baking sheet. Just make sure to space the muffins out so they have room to rise.
  • For a more gooey center, add a teaspoon of pizza sauce to the bottom of each muffin cup before adding the dough.
  • Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Some popular options include:
    • Pepperoni
    • Sausage
    • Bacon
    • Ham
    • Mushrooms
    • Onions
    • Green peppers
    • Pineapple
    • Black olives
  • If you're using fresh vegetables, be sure to cook them before adding them to the muffins. This will help prevent them from releasing too much moisture and making the muffins soggy.
  • Don't overfill the muffin cups. The dough should come about 2/3 of the way up the sides.
  • Bake the muffins until they're golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Pepperoni pizza muffins are a quick and easy way to enjoy your favorite pizza flavors in a fun and portable form. With a crispy crust, gooey center, and your choice of toppings, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're craving pizza, give this recipe a try!
