Ingredients
Cooking spray
1 1/2 cups pepperoni, chopped
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup finely diced bell pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
5 eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a 12-hole muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a bowl, mix pepperoni, mozzarella, bell pepper, onion, pizza sauce, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in vegetable oil, flour, and baking powder until mostly smooth.
- Combine the batter with the pepperoni mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool slightly in the pan before serving warm or storing for later.
Notes
Cheddar, provolone, or pizza blend cheese can replace mozzarella.
Use whole wheat flour for a denser texture or half-and-half mix for balance.
Freeze muffins individually wrapped for up to 2 months.
For a spicier version, add jalapeños or extra crushed red pepper.
