Variations

You can get creative with your pizza muffins and add any toppings you like. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

  • Ham and pineapple
  • Sausage and mushroom
  • Vegetarian with bell peppers, onions, and olives
  • Buffalo chicken with hot sauce and blue cheese
  • Bacon and ranch

Tips

  • Make sure not to overmix the batter, or your muffins will be tough.
  • Use a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to easily portion out the batter.
  • If you don’t have mini pepperoni, you can chop regular-sized pepperoni into small pieces.
  • Leftover pizza muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
