Savory Pizza Cupcakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Pizza Cupcakes.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a cupcake tin and give nine of the wells a good spray with nonstick cooking spray, or line them with paper liners and give those a light spritz too.

3. Step 3

   In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and baking powder.

4. Step 4

   Whisk these dry ingredients together until they’re well blended, then create a little well in the center.

5. Step 5

   Into this well, pour in the milk, vegetable oil, and crack in the egg.

6. Step 6

   Gently whisk these wet ingredients together, then use a fork or spatula to mix them into the dry ingredients until just combined—don’t worry if it’s a little lumpy; that’s perfectly fine! Now, it’s time to add some fun: fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese and diced pepperoni, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7. Step 7

   Next, spoon the batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling each one about two-thirds full to allow for some delightful rising.

8. Step 8

   Pop the tin into your preheated oven and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Step 9

   Once they’re done, let the cupcakes cool in the pan for a minute or two before transferring them to a cooling rack.

10. Step 10

    For an extra treat, serve them warm with a side of pizza sauce for dipping—trust me, it’s a game changer! Enjoy your deliciously cheesy creations!.
