About the recipe

😍  It’s Friday night in the late 80’s (I feel old) and my family is  waiting around a table at Pizza Hut for our order. My Book-It pin has enough stars on it to earn my very own personal pan pizza. (Who’s with me on these pins?!)
Who can resist a freshly made pizza just for you and with your favorite toppings?!

🍕 Now I get to enjoy my own little pizza party in these French Pepperoni Pizza Muffins! May childhood memories live on!

🧀 These French pepperoni pizza muffins are packed with melty mozzarella, zesty pepperoni, and fragrant fresh basil, making every bite a burst of flavor. Perfect for grab-and-go snacks or lunchboxes, they’re easy to make, fun to eat, and loved by both kids and adults alike!

🫑 🍅  You can easily make these muffins vegetarian by swapping pepperoni for colorful veggies like bell peppers, olives, or sun-dried tomatoes. Or get creative and add your favorite pizza ingredients, from mushrooms to extra cheese, for a personalized, flavorful twist every time! 🍽️.

🥗 Pair these savory muffins with a fresh side salad, crunchy veggies, or fruit for a complete, balanced lunch. With wholesome ingredients like mozzarella, fresh basil, and your favorite toppings, it’s a healthy, guilt-free meal the whole family will enjoy! 😉
