Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
  • ½ tsp (3g) salt
  • ¾ cup (180ml) Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil
  • ½ cup (120ml) thick tomato pizza sauce
  • 1 ½ cups (170g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup (30g) finely diced pepperoni
  • 2 tbsp (10g) finely chopped fresh basil
  • ¼ tsp (1g) garlic powder

Instructions:

  1. Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir in the Greek yogurt and olive oil until a soft, tacky dough forms, being careful not to over-mix.
  2. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin thoroughly using non-stick spray or silicone liners.
  3. Press approximately 1 tablespoon (15g) of dough into the bottom of each cup, pressing firmly against the sides to create a small well.
  4. Add a pinch of shredded mozzarella cheese first to create a moisture barrier, followed by ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) of pizza sauce. Top with diced pepperoni and a sprinkle of garlic powder.
  5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the edges of the crust are deep golden brown.
  6. Allow the bites to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to ensure they hold their shape.
