Ingredients
  

For the batter
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour Make sure it contains xanthan gum for best texture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
For the toppings
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese You can substitute with other cheeses as per preference.
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices Can swap for cooked sausage or diced veggies for a vegetarian option.
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For greasing the muffin tin.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with olive oil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour, baking powder, Italian herbs, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add eggs and pizza sauce to the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Fold in mozzarella cheese, mini pepperoni slices, and Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Baking
  1. Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until the pizza bites are golden and cooked through.
  2. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, great with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

Store leftover pizza bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
