How to Make Easy Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Puffs

I’m all for finger foods and this game day favorite, Pepperoni Pizza Puffs, is a winner.

What I love about this recipe is that you can make it not only for game day, but also as a kid-friendly snack. I’ve even served it as a main dish with a side salad.

It’s one of those foods that you’ll want to make again and again.

You’ll find that Pepperoni Pizza Puffs are great for picnics, the perfect snack for hikers, and as a holiday appetizer. Come to think of it, they’re wonderful anytime!

To Make:

This is basically a one-bowl recipe that whips up in a few minutes.

Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F.

In a large bowl mix all of the ingredients together (except the marinara sauce), starting with the flour.

Spray the mini muffin pans with non-stick spray.

To make filling the muffin tins easier, I like to use an ice cream scoop to distribute the dough evenly into a mini muffin pan. Now, if you don’t have one, you can also use a regular size muffin pan, but you’ll need to allow extra time for baking.

The batter should fill about 3/4 of the way up in each compartment.

Put in oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes. Fair warning, these puffs bake quickly, so check on them periodically and remove them as soon as they are cooked through–think: golden brown.

Then immediately remove the Pepperoni Pizza Puffs from the muffin tins. (I like to put them in a cloth-lined bowl.)

I like serving these with my family favorite, Rao’s Marinara, warmed but not hot, although you can use whatever sauce you like–or forego it. They’re that good! Enjoy!
