Easy Pizza Cupcakes Recipe
I decided to give this a try over a year ago, because the biscuit pizzas and the bubble up pizzas were a hit with the entire family. So… I took it one step further… hence pizza cupcakes were born…
These would be really fun to serve for parties as well as family dinner. From Superbowl to birthday parties and more, this recipe is easy and so delicious.
Make sure you give this one a try. Your family is going to love you for it! You will love how budget friendly they are and how simple they are to make!
These Mini deep dish pizzas freeze great!
Since you are already going to make a mess of your kitchen, go ahead and make extras. Flash freeze them on a cookie sheet.
It isn’t any extra work to double the recipe. You will be so glad you did!
Once frozen, place in a ziplock baggy. You now have an easy lunch ready to reheat in the microwave.
These also taste great at room temperature, so your kids will love them in school lunches. You will love having these on hand in the freezer for quick meals or to pack in lunch boxes.
It really is that simple! These are also very frugal friendly.
If you make your own pizza sauce, this is a very inexpensive dinner. Since you can get the biscuits for cheap even without a sale or a coupon, you can make this any time.
What all do I need to make this Easy Pizza cupcakes recipe?
- biscuits
- homemade pizza sauce
- Mozzarella cheese
- mini Pepperonis
I used 1 tube, 7.5 oz, of biscuits, 10 count. So, this recipe would make 20. Also, I used hormel pepperoni minis for the toppings.
How do you make these Pizza Cupcake toppers?
Spray your cupcake pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Next, place a biscuit into each cupcake. Use your fingers to make a well in each biscuit.
I did flatten the biscuits in the palm of my hand, and then pressed them in and up the sides of the muffin tin.
Easy! The kids loved doing this!
Spoon 1 tablespoon of sauce into each cupcake.
Now it is time for the pepperonis and top with the mozzarella cheese.
Just a note- Do not go overboard on the cheese because these are going to rise quite a bit. I learned the hard way. 🙂
Bake until golden brown and enjoy!
Let the cupcakes cool about 5 minutes (they will “deflate” some) before serving.
So easy! Your kids will absolutely love this!
