Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 35m

Yield 36-48 mini muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fine yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup pizza sauce or 1/2 cup marinara sauce
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup cooked sausage or 1/3 cup vegetables

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400ºF and line 36 mini muffin cups with paper liners or grease a mini muffin pan.
  • Sift the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, blend the egg, milk, and oil. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and add the liquid. Stir just until combined.
  • In a small bowl combine pizza sauce and parmesan.
  • Spoon the muffin batter into the muffin cups evenly, filling them about 1/2-3/4 full. Spoon about 1 tsp of sauce mixture on top of each one mixing slightly.

MINI PIZZA "CUPCAKES"



Mini Pizza

These pizza "cupcakes" might just be a perfect food. The outsides are like garlic bread and the insides are full of oozing cheese.

Provided by Ashley Bluth

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Snacks     Kids     Quick and Easy

Time 30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated pizza dough
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or to taste
1 (6 ounce) package sliced pepperoni, or to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups marinara sauce, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Roll pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Use a pizza cutter to slice dough into 24 squares. Place mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices on each square; you'll need to be able to enclose the toppings in the dough so keep that in mind. Carefully lift up each square and wrap dough around toppings. Pinch to seal shut and place seam-side down in the prepared muffin cups.
  • Brush the tops of the dough balls with olive oil, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Top with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
  • Remove pizza "cupcakes" from the oven and serve with warm marinara on the side for dipping.
