  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

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

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a 12-hole muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. In a bowl, mix pepperoni, mozzarella, bell pepper, onion, pizza sauce, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in vegetable oil, flour, and baking powder until mostly smooth.
  4. Combine the batter with the pepperoni mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. 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.
