I seem to be on a “muffin” kick with the corn dog muffins and now these pepperoni & cheese pizza muffins. You won’t believe how easy these are to make! The first time I cooked them, I was stunned. I love homemade pizza, but prefer to keep lunch simple and these give me my pizza fix for a lot less effort. We may have eaten them for lunch and dinner and lunch again all in one week. If that did happen, there was not a complaint one. My husband actually raved about these.

Notes
Recipe yields 20 muffins.
These do freeze well, simply allow muffins to cool completely and put in a freezer bag. I suggest you under-bake them a bit if you plan to freeze them.
To reheat, bake them for about 20 minutes or until warmed through.
This recipe was a Pinterest find (where else?) and was adapted from these Pepperoni Pizza Puffs at Lick the Bowl Good. Enjoy!
