Description

These savory Pizza Muffins are a fun and easy twist on traditional pizza, combining fluffy biscuit dough with classic Italian flavors like mozzarella, pizza sauce, and mini pepperonis. Perfect for a quick snack or party appetizer, they’re baked to golden perfection and melty on top with a delicious sauce dip.

Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Toppings and Sauce

  • ¾ cup pizza sauce (plus additional for serving)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Mini pepperonis (about 4-5 per muffin)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment paper liners or lightly grease each cup with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Bisquick baking mix, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps, ensuring even seasoning distribution.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate smaller bowl, whisk the eggs and whole milk together until fully combined to create the wet base for the batter.
  4. Make the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Gently stir with a spatula until just combined; be careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick but easily scoopable.
  5. Add cheese to batter: Fold in ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese evenly throughout the batter to add melty cheesy pockets inside the muffins.
  6. Fill muffin cups: Divide the biscuit dough evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising and toppings.
  7. Bake the muffins: Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the tops turn lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating doneness.
  8. Add toppings: Remove the muffin pan from the oven and immediately spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce on top of each muffin. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over all the muffins, then top each with 4 to 5 mini pepperonis.
  9. Melt cheese topping: Return the muffin pan to the oven and bake for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the shredded cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  10. Cool and serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing. Serve warm with extra warm pizza sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy your delicious pizza muffins!

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
  • Use parchment liners or a well-greased pan to easily remove muffins.
  • Feel free to customize toppings with vegetables or different meats.
  • Serve immediately for best taste, or keep warm in a low oven until ready.
  • These can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven.
