Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, and almond milk until smooth.
  4. Combine and Fold: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms. Fold in shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, mini pepperoni slices, and any optional vegetables like chopped bell peppers and mushrooms.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cavity nearly to the top.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops of the puffs are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the Pizza Puffs from the muffin tin and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
