Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Basil (dried)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the milk and vegetable oil.
Step 4
Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Gently fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, pizza sauce, oregano, and dried basil. Reserve a few pieces of cheese and pepperoni for topping, if desired.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Top each muffin with a small amount of the reserved mozzarella and a slice of pepperoni, pressing lightly to set it in place.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Step 10
Optionally, sprinkle the muffins with grated Parmesan cheese before serving for extra flavor.
