PIZZA MUFFIN PIZZAS

Makes 12-14 muffins

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ tsp baking powder

1 ½ cups skim milk

2 eggs, lightly beaten

2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

1 cup pepperoni, cut into small pieces

1 cup mushrooms, chopped into small pieces

1 cup black olives, diced

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 cup pizza sauce

Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a 24-cup mini-muffin pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Add milk and egg, stirring to combine. Mix in mozzarella, pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, and herbs. Allow mixture to stand for 10 minutes.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan (you will make two batches). Bake until puffed and golden, 20-25 minutes. Remove pizza puffs from pan and place in a serving container. Bake a second batch of puffs with the remaining batter.

Serve pizza puffs warm with heated pizza sauce for dipping.
