Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup pizza sauce (plus extra for dipping)
1/2 cup pepperoni slices (optional)
1/4 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
1/4 cup chopped olives (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, and olive oil until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce, and any additional toppings you desire.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
