Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Diced pepperoni
- 0.25 cup Finely chopped green bell pepper
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce (for serving, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or olive oil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and olive oil until smooth and well-combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, diced pepperoni, and chopped green bell pepper, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
Step 6
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for the muffins to rise.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
