Cheesy, savoury and packed with all the flavours of your favourite pizza.

Like most people, I love pizza. It tastes great any time of the day – morning or night. Or even in the middle of the night. When the flavours of pizza are packed into a muffin, it becomes the perfect single-serving treat.

Imagine a deep dish pizza crossed with a light, flaky muffin and that’s what these Healthy Pizza Muffins taste like. With cheese infused dough, sautéed mushrooms, and a light cheese and tomato sauce topping, these pizza muffins are tasty! But they are also healthy. Made with fat free cheese, yogurt, milk, and egg whites, your taste buds won’t believe that these muffins are healthy. Don’t you love when that happens!!

These muffins are also an instant hit with kids – they taste like pizza after all. I can’t decide who enjoyed these muffins more, me or my toddler daughter. We both wanted another after another. I guess we’re all kids at heart!

My favourite pizza is mushroom and cheese, so that’s how these muffins are filled. If you have another favourite topping, give it a try! Let me know how it turns out. Have you tried pizza muffins? What do you think?
