Pizza Cupcakes from Scratch
Description
These pepperoni pizza cupcakes are made from scratch instead of with prepared dough. They are biscuit-like in texture, and you can mix and match the filling ingredients.
Ingredients
•
cooking spray
•
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 tablespoon white sugar
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
•
2 teaspoons baking powder
•
1/2 cup milk
•
2 tablespoons milk
•
1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
•
1 1/2 ounces diced pepperoni
•
1/2 cup pizza sauce, for dipping
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 9 wells in a cupcake tin with nonstick cooking spray, or line with paper liners (spray the liners with nonstick cooking spray).
2
Combine flour, sugar, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and baking powder in a bowl. Whisk to combine and make a well in the center.
3
Add milk, oil, and egg to the well and whisk them gently together to blend before using a fork or spatula to incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir mozzarella cheese and pepperoni into the sticky batter. Divide batter amongst the prepared muffin cups.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until cupcakes are lightly browned and baked through, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool in the pan for 1 to 2 minutes, then move to a cooling rack. Serve warm with pizza sauce for dipping if desired.
