Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk

2 large eggs

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup diced pepperoni (or any favorite toppings)

½ cup marinara sauce (plus more for dipping)

1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, etc.)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with muffin liners.

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.

      In a separate bowl, mix the milk and eggs until frothy. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

        Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, diced pepperoni, marinara sauce, and dried Italian herbs until evenly distributed.

          Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with the pizza batter. The batter should rise and create a delicious deep-dish style once baked.

            Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

                Serve warm with additional marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
