Cottage Cheese Pizza Muffins

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, pizza sauce, and mozzarella cheese until well combined.
3. Add the whole wheat flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the mixture and stir until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
4. Fold in the mini pepperoni, chopped bell peppers, and mushrooms.
5. Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden.
7. Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm.

Chef’s Tips

• Feel free to add other favorite pizza toppings like olives or onions for extra flavor.
• These muffins freeze well, so make a double batch and save some for later!
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
