Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup +2 tbsp low-fat milk
- 1/2 cup mini pepperonis
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
For the Topping
- 1/3 cup mini pepperonis
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a 12 cupcake pan with liners (see note).
- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add in vegetable oil, egg, and 1/3 cup milk into flour mixture and stir until batter is smooth. It will be sticky. (Add in another 2 tbsp milk if desired.) Fold/stir in cheese and pepperoni. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
- Bake for about 18 minutes until muffins turn out golden and a knife inserted comes out clean. Right before eating, top muffins with more cheese and about five slices of mini pepperoni and bake for 4-5 minutes at 350°F until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
Notes
Some commenters have suggested it's better to grease and bake the cupcakes directly in the pan because they will stick to the liners. It's less messy with the liners but the exterior of the batter does stick to the liners, so if you don't want that I would suggest baking directly into the muffin pan.
