Gluten Free Pizza Muffins with homemade tomato sauce

 These little gems might become a new family dinner-time favorite. The boys were craving pizza- and being gluten free, pizza can be a time consuming task (I hate that pre-packaged stuff when I can avoid it, so I usually make my own). I found this recipe, adapted my own flour blend and was on my way...

 

I served it with some homemade tomato sauce that we made from our surplus of tomatoes this past summer. As we added all of the meats we just processed to the freezer, I needed to make room, so out came the sauce! If I can figure out where I put my sauce recipe, maybe I'll post that too. I'll link them together when the time comes.

 

So here is the recipe that will make your GF family as happy as mine :)

 

Pizza Muffins, Served with homemade tomato sauce

GF, CoF, SF, NF (Contains eggs and dairy/casein)

Ingredients

1 cup brown rice flour

1 cup tapioca starch

2 Tbs baking powder

1/4 tsp xanthan gum

1/4 cup Italian seasoning (I used my own dried garden blend from this past summer)

2 Tbs garlic powder

3 cups skim milk

4 eggs, lightly beaten

3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese  

3 cups pepperoni

Let's get cookin':

Preheat the oven to 350

Coat a muffin tin with a non-stick spray or oil of your choice.

Combine dry ingredients (flours, xanthan, baking powder, seasoning, garlic powder)

Combine eggs and milk in a small bowl.

Slowly pour the egg mixture into the dry, combining thoroughly as you go.

Stir in the cheese and diced pepperoni pieces.

Pout the mixture into the prepared cups, keeping in mind that they rise. I aimed for about 1/4 inch below the rim.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden on edges.

I used a silicone muffin tray, so cooking times might vary, keep an eye on them.

Serve with tomato sauce.


It makes 24 standard size pizza muffins.


I'm sure you could add multiple other fillings. I think next time I might add mushrooms, as that is a fan-favorite in our house. If you find some great additions, feel free to share!
