Make These Easy Pepperoni Pizza Muffins
I always start by gathering all of the ingredients needed in a recipe and weighing and measuring everything before I start to cook or bake. This part is really important and key in keeping everything organized.
- To make these easy pepperoni pizza muffins you start by preheating the oven to 180C / 350F.
- Position your oven rack in the center of the oven and grease a standard 12 cup muffin pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, Italian seasoning, dried oregano and salt.
- Lightly beat the egg and whisk into the flour mixture along with the buttermilk and vegetable oil until combined.
- Fold in the pepperoni and cheese. Then divide the batter between the muffin cups.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick/cake tester inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Let cool down for 5 minutes in the muffin pan before removing to a wire rack or serving plate.
