Bite Sized Pizza Muffins

Let me introduce you to someone dear to my heart:


That's my oldest son, Logan.  Also known around these parts as Mr. Picky Pants.  The kid is the pickiest eater I've ever had the trouble pleasure of cooking for.  When I saw the following recipe on Pinterest, I knew it was one I had to try.
 
 

 Bite sized pizza muffins - perfect for a 10 year old to grab and reheat when he got hungry!  The following recipe is adapted from Every Day with Rachel Ray by way of Lick the Bowl Good:

INGREDIENTS: (my changes are in red)
·         3/4 cup flour
·         3/4 teaspoon baking powder
·         3/4 cup almond milk, unflavored 
·         1 egg, lightly beaten
·         4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded 
·         4 ounces pepperoni, cut into small cubes 
·         1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried basil
·         1 tsp. garlic powder
·         3/4 tsp. kosher salt
·         1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
·         pizza sauce for dipping

DIRECTIONS:
1.     Preheat the oven to 375°. Grease a 24-cup mini-muffin pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, oregano, basil and garlic; whisk in the milk and egg. Stir in the mozzarella, pepperoni and parmesan cheese; let stand for 10 minutes.
2.     Stir the batter and divide among the mini-muffin cups. Bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
3.     Meanwhile, microwave the pizza sauce until warmed through. Serve the puffs with the pizza sauce for dipping.
