Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup mini pepperoni, chopped
1/2 cup pizza sauce plus more for dipping
2 tbsp olive oil
nonstick cooking spray or muffin liners

Equipment

12-cup muffin tin
mixing bowl
whisk
spatula
oven
wire rack

Method

Preheat the oven to 375b0F (190b0C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, pizza sauce, and olive oil until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the mozzarella, Parmesan, and chopped mini pepperoni.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before packing.
Serve warm or at room temperature with extra pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter for the best texture. These muffins can be served warm or at room temperature and make a great make-ahead lunchbox option.
