Pepperoni & Cheese Pizza Muffins

Pizza anything is always a hit in my house – from Pizza Dip to Pizza Sliders – we’ve experimented with pizza in countless forms, so it was about time we added a Pepperoni & Cheese Pizza Muffin recipe to our repertoire!

Eat pizza anytime anywhere with mess-free Pepperoni & Cheese Pizza Muffins! A fun recipe to make with kids as a snack, appetizer, dinner, party food & more!

These pizza muffins are the perfect lunch box treat – an easy, on-the-go way to enjoy pizza without the mess. My daughter always begs for those overpriced pizza breads in the bakery section of our grocery store so she was thrilled with these.

They would also be great to serve alongside soup or pasta as an alternative to biscuits, or as a slightly indulgent side for a salad supper.

Swap out the toppings, sauce or cheese for a fun twist. Sun dried tomatoes, sharp cheddar and black olives are next on my list!
