Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1 package mini pepperoni, divided
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 12 teaspoons pizza sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Chop ¾ of the mini pepperoni into ¼-inch pieces and set aside.
- Combine the flour, garlic salt, onion powder, oregano, baking powder, and grated parmesan cheese in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the milk, egg, melted butter, and half the package of chopped pepperoni to the batter and stir to combine. Note that the batter will be runny.
- Spray a regular-sized 12-serving muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Fill the bottom of the muffin pan ¼ of the way full with batter, then sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese in the middle.
- Add more batter on top of the cheese, filling it only about ¾ of the way full.
- Add a dollop of pizza sauce on the top, sprinkle with more cheddar, and add mini pepperoni. Then press ingredients down into batter just a bit.
- Bake at 375°F for 20 to 22 minutes, depending on how hot your oven runs.
- Let the muffins rest in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before removing them.

Notes
- If you are using a jumbo muffin tray, you will get 6 pizza muffins out of this recipe.
- The batter will be runny, this is normal!
- When baking, the muffins will form into a dome, so you want to be careful to not overfill or you'll have a mess on your hands.
