I have been pinning this recipe for months now. (You know how you pin something and then a few days later you pin it again, forgetting that you pinned it already? Oh, that’s just me?!?)
I finally decided it was time, and I am so glad I did!
All the perfection of pepperoni pizza, in a cute fluffy little bite. How could this not be great?!
easy pepperoni pizza puffs
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2-1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 3 cups chopped pepperoni
- pizza sauce & ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Grease 2 24-cup mini-muffin pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and spices. Whisk in the milk and eggs until combined.
- Stir in the cheeses and pepperoni and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Divide the batter equally into the muffin tins, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until they are puffed and golden.
- These puffs freeze and reheat wonderfully! Freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen. Transfer to a freezer-safe ziploc bag and store in the freezer. To reheat: Place on a cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 350ºF oven for 8-10 minutes, until heated through.
- Serve with warm pizza sauce and/or ranch dressing for dipping!
