Wholesome and flavorful pizza muffins made with whole wheat flour, Greek yogurt, and cheesy pizza-inspired fillings. These handheld bites are perfect for lunchboxes, snacks, or quick weeknight meals.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened milk
  • 3/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini turkey pepperoni or diced vegetables (bell peppers or mushrooms)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and Italian seasoning.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs, then mix in Greek yogurt, olive oil, milk, and pizza sauce until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in mozzarella cheese, turkey pepperoni or vegetables, and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool for 5–10 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use part-skim mozzarella to reduce fat and calories.
  • For vegetarian muffins, omit turkey pepperoni and add extra vegetables.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
  • Freeze individually wrapped muffins for up to 2 months.
  • Mini muffins bake in 12–15 minutes.
