Description

Mini English Muffin Pizzas are the perfect quick and customizable snack or meal. Using whole wheat or gluten-free English muffins as the base, these pizzas are topped with tomato sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings. They’re easy to make and adaptable to a variety of dietary preferences, including vegan, gluten-free, or low-carb.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 whole wheat or gluten-free English muffins (split in half)
  • 1 cup of tomato sauce or pizza sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or dairy-free alternatives)
  • ½ cup pepperoni slices (optional)
  • 1 cup of chopped vegetables (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, etc.)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for brushing the muffins)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Muffins: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Split the English muffins in half and lay them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Optionally, brush the cut sides with olive oil for extra crispiness.

  • Spread the Sauce: Use a spoon to spread about 2 tablespoons of tomato or pizza sauce on each muffin half.

  • Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Add your desired toppings, like pepperoni or veggies.

  • Season: Lightly sprinkle oregano or Italian seasoning over the pizzas for added flavor.

  • Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the muffins are crispy.

  • Serve: Let the pizzas cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
