Mini Pepperoni Pizza Muffin Cups

It’s no great secret that our family loves pizza! We regularly have a family pizza night where we curl up on the couch, watch a movie, and of course make one of our favorite pizza night foods. 

While we sometimes will order out for pizza, we mostly like to make our own recipes at home. These delicious pizza muffin cups are among one of the most requested items by my husband and boys, and I happily oblige since they’re so easy to make. 

Reasons You’ll Love Mini Pizza Muffins

  • Easy and Fun to Make with Kids – They’re easy to make in under 20 minutes time, and even the kids can help!

Tips for Making Pizza Muffins

These pizza muffins may be small in size but they are packed full of flavor and will definitely leave you feeling fully satisfied.

Customize Toppings

You can easily add other ingredients to your muffins if you prefer.  I’d recommend sausage, diced ham, chicken, or you could even keep it simple with just cheese. 

Double The Recipe For Leftovers

You can also easily double the recipe by using two cans of pizza dough if you’re serving a large crowd or want leftovers for the next day.

These warm up really nice in the microwave and I love packing them for lunch.

Make Them Regular Size

If you don’t want them in mini form or only have a regular size muffin pan, this recipe is fully adaptable. You would just make 12 regular size pizza muffins instead of 24 mini pizza muffins.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF.
  2. Spray 24 mini muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray
  3. Roll out pizza dough and spread evenly. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 24 even squares. I find it easiest to cut it in half sections lengthwise, then half  each of those sections. Repeat in the opposite direction. Press each square into the sprayed muffin cups, gently pushing the middle down with your fingers.
  4. Next, use a knife to dice the pepperoni slices into small cubes, working in small sections. Add 1/4 cup marinara sauce to a bowl and mix with the diced pepperoni. In another bowl, add 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar or Colby jack cheese. Mix together with your hands until evenly combined.
  5. Use a 1/2 tsp measuring spoon and add the pepperoni and sauce mixture to each muffin cup. Next, top with the shredded cheese. We love using a blend of mozzarella and Colby jack but you can use any kind you prefer. If desired, sprinkle Italian seasoning on top.
  6. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the muffin cups are a light golden brown. Let the muffin cups cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing.
  7. Serve the pizza muffins with marinara sauce or ranch and enjoy!

  41. I absolutely love this! My husband and I usually do pizza night once a week (big pizza lovers!)… and usually in conjunction with the bachelor/bachelorette. 🙂 We were just discussing that we should do more homemade pizzas – I am going to try this! Thanks for the amazing ideas (as always! )
