Pizza Muffins image

Sometimes I'll make soup or a salad for lunch or dinner and my kids are looking for an extra something to go with it. These pizza muffins have all the flavor of pizza, but are made with wholesome ingredients, including whole-grain flour and fresh tomato sauce, as well as minimal amounts of cheese. The best part is that they are portable and perfect for lunchboxes or picnics.

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour, white whole wheat flour, or whole spelt flour (not GF), or King Arthur Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Flour plus 1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons unrefined cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon pure Grade A or B maple syrup
1 1/4 cups marinara sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
Grated pecorino, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with unbleached parchment liners or reusable silicone liners.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and oregano in a medium bowl to combine.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs, olive oil, buttermilk, maple syrup, and 1 cup of the marinara sauce, and stir. Add the mozzarella and stir to combine. Slowly stir in the dry mixture until just combined. Do not overbeat.
  • Using a large ice-cream scoop, divide the batter evenly between each muffin cup. Use the remaining 1/4 cup marinara sauce to top each muffin with 1 teaspoon of sauce, then sprinkle with pecorino.
  • Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then transfer to a wire rack to completely cool.
