    Pepperoni Pizza Muffins ~ easy kid friendly recipe from 5DollarDinners.com

    These babies are ALL.THE.RAGE. around my house lately. Like kids begging for them…for dinner…for snacks…for lunchboxes!

    All.

    The.

    Rage.

    And they are super simple to make – I’m still teaching the boys how to make them. I think after 1 or 2 more batches, the older 2 could make these on their own! (wahooooooo for working myself outta the job 😉 )

    Highly recommend this fun twist for your pizza loving kiddos!

      I suppose if I want to make this in a 13×9 size I would triple or quadruple the ingredients? Looks so yummy and the crust would be amazing in that size! 🙂

      I used corn muffin mix. Not sure if that was right.

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
