#MuffinMonday is a group of muffin loving bakers who get together once a month to bake muffins. You can see all of our lovely muffins by following our Pinterest board. Updated links for all of our past events and more information about Muffin Monday can be found on our home page.

Now your family can enjoy all the great tastes of pizza in these bite size muffins that are ready in less than half an hour.

One of the things I love about muffins is that they are so quick and easy to put together. You can make them savory or sweet.  They can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.  They are easily adaptable to whatever you have in your pantry and refrigerator.

When we were posting recipes for back to school treats, Ashley of Cheese Curd in Paradise shared this recipe for Pizza Muffins.  I printed it out and set it aside. They sounded sooooo good.

Now that the Teen is back in school, it was the perfect time to bake these up for her and her friend's to enjoy when they walk in the door starving in the afternoon.  It is always too long for them to wait for dinner time but I don't want them eating so much that they can't enjoy dinner.  These mini muffins are perfect for taking the edge off and holding them over for a couple of hours.

I adapted this recipe from the one I shared from Ashley at Cheese Curd in Paradise. Ashley adapted hers from Rachael Ray.  Enjoy......
