Total Time 40 minutes mins
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 7 ½ oz/213 g
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 ½ cups whole milk 12 fl oz/360 ml
- ½ cup Pizza Sauce 4 oz/120 g
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 8 oz/225 g
- ¼ cup mini pepperonis 2 oz/57 g
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and liberally grease a 12 well muffin tin with olive oil. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning and salt.
In a medium jug, whisk the eggs and milk until until blended, then mix into the dry ingredients until just combined but with a few small lumps remaining.
For the bottom layer of the cupcake, fill each muffin cup with about 2 tablespoons of batter. Next sprinkle some cheese in each cup followed by 2 teaspoons of sauce then another sprinkle of cheese. Finally, layer on a few mini pepperonis.
Top each cupcake with 2 tablespoons of the remaining batter, and a final sprinkle of cheese and pepperonis.
Bake until lightly browned and puffed, about 20-25 minutes. Enjoy while still hot! Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 day or in the freezer for up to 4 weeks. Reheat when ready to eat.
