It’s so hard to come up with lunch ideas that aren’t sandwiches and don’t require a microwave! My son is quite picky so when he requested a pepperoni pizza muffin again and again I did a little happy dance. They are quick and easy to make and the whole family will love to find them in their lunch boxes! They freeze well so I take out enough for a day or two the night before to defrost over night. You could also add a variety of “toppings” if you have a more adventurous eater. I make the entire recipe in my mixer and bake in mini muffin tins. I find they fit better in the bento style lunch boxes but feel free to use standard size tins if it suits you.

Notes
Having these in the freezer takes the stress out making lunch. I just pair with some fruits, veggies and a yogurt or granola bar! I hope you try out the recipe, I know your kiddos will love them! And definitely grab a hot one for yourself, they are soft and scrumptious fresh from the oven, so good!!!
