Ingredients to make Healthy Mini Pizza Muffins
- Oat flour: healthier than all-purpose flour and a great source of fiber, antioxidants, minerals, and B vitamins.
- Almond flour: rich in vitamin E and other antioxidants.
- Eggs: highly nutritious and provide excellent quality protein; I used organic cage-free.
- Milk: I used unsweetened almond milk; feel free to use your milk of choice.
- Baking powder: leavening agent.
- Salt: omit for babies <12m old
- Mozzarella cheese or other low sodium cheese if serving to babies.
- Cherry tomatoes: or other topping of your choice. See serving suggestions and substitutions.
- Oregano: optional.
- Chia seeds: optional. Excellent source of fiber, minerals, omega-3, and antioxidants.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat oven to 356F (180C).
- Add the flour, eggs, milk, salt, and baking powder to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Grease a muffin tray, I like spreading butter using a paper towel.
- Pour the mixture into 12 muffins. Add a small amount of batter to make the muffins thinner and look more like pizza.
- Sprinkle chia seeds on top, followed by mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, and oregano.
- Bake for 15 minutes, let them cool, and remove from the baking tray.
Storage Instructions
These pizza muffins can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let them cool and add them to a freezer bag or airtight container before storing.
Reheat in the microwave or oven.
