Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the milk and egg; then mix with the dry ingredients.
- Fold in the shredded mozzarella and pepperoni.
- Pour the batter into muffin cups or a silicone mold, filling each about 2/3 full.

Notes
Store any leftover pizza muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for a month. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave before serving. Make sure not to overmix the batter; this keeps the muffins light and fluffy. Add toppings like bell peppers, olives, or different cheeses for variations.
