INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:
- You will be using all-purpose flour because it will make the proper muffin shape by creating a smooth batter. If you do not have this with you, whole wheat flour can be an option.
BAKING SODA & BAKING POWDER:
- There is no good alternative for these, and these are necessary to use in this recipe. This is because the muffins will bake with them. Not only that, but these will make the muffins softer in texture.
SALT:
- Adding salt to any recipe usually makes its taste better, and this is the case in this recipe as well. You can include it according to how you like your salt levels.
OREGANO & GARLIC POWDER:
- Both of these ingredients will make the taste of the pizza muffins like a traditional pizza. Another option that you can use is Italian seasoning.
PLANT-BASED MILK:
- The muffins will not become dry if you add vegan milk to the batter. Use any sort of vegan milk of your choice, either coconut, oat, or soy.
TOMATO SAUCE:
- The basic taste of pizza will come along if we add tomato sauce to the pizza muffins. Another option for this ingredient can be using tomatoes after mashing them or using marinara.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive oil will give the pizza muffins a deeper flavor, and the muffins will not become very hard with its use. Rather than olive oil, use vegetable oil if you need it.
VEGAN CHEESE:
- The cheese feeling will come along when we add any sort of vegan cheese. We will be shredding it first and then adding it to the muffins. This will make the muffins feel more like a classic pizza. Using nutritional yeast can be a substitute choice.
VEGETABLES:
- All of the vegetables in this recipe give a good consistency to these savory muffins, along with tasty flavor as well. Alternative vegetable options can include cherry tomatoes or spinach.

TIPS:
- Cutting the vegetables into tiny pieces will help you make a smoother texture of muffins.
