Easy Pizza Cupcakes Recipes

PIZZA CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 8 cups of a muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Finely chop cherry tomatoes and drain any liquid. Set aside.
• Unroll pizza crust on a floured work surface and roll out thinly into a large rectangle. Using a 4-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut 8 circles in the dough. Place dough circles in the prepared muffin cups, pressing dough into the bottom and up the sides of each cup.
• Drop 1 teaspoon mozzarella into each cup. Top with 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce. Add chopped tomatoes and red onions. Add 1 tablespoon of mozzarella to each cup, and top with pepperoni. Sprinkle each cup with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and garlic salt to taste.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbling and melted, 14 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Remove from the tin and serve hot.

YUMMY PIZZA CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and spray with cooking spray.
• Pour pizza sauce into a large bowl. Cut each biscuit into 10 to 15 small pieces and stir into the pizza sauce. Add mozzarella, pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, and Italian seasoning and mix to combine well. Spoon the pizza mixture equally into the prepared muffin tin.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and cheese has melted, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven; let cool for 5 minutes before removing muffins from the tin.

PIZZA CUPCAKES FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• 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).
• Combine flour, sugar, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and baking powder in a bowl. Whisk to combine and make a well in the center.
• 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.
• 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.
