Perfect for a midday snack or a light lunch, they&#8217;re packed with sauce, cheese and whatever other toppings you enjoy. In fact, you can even prepare them in advance and store them in the freezer for a quick bite when you need it. A great choice for kids and adults alike, pizza muffins reheat easily in the oven, so they&#8217;re ideal for teenagers looking for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/after-school-snacks\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/after-school-snacks\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">after-school snack<\/a>. Less than 10 ingredients are all you need to whip them up.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Pizza Muffins<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"recipe-ingredients__list recipe-ingredients__collection splitColumns\">\n<li><strong>Tomato sauce:<\/strong> Sweet, earthy and a little savory, tomato sauce is an essential part of any pizza recipe. Choose your favorite store-bought option or make your own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/the-best-marinara-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/the-best-marinara-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">from scratch<\/a>, whichever you prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tomato paste:\u00a0<\/strong>Tomato paste helps thicken the sauce here, making sure it doesn&#8217;t overflow and ooze out of the muffins while they&#8217;re baking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dried basil:\u00a0<\/strong>Strong, pungent and more concentrated than the fresh version, dried basil is an easy way to add bold flavor. Our recipe calls for just a teaspoon, but you could easily add more if you like.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic salt and onion powder:\u00a0<\/strong>These earthy and pungent dried spices get added to the pizza sauce to help infuse deep flavor into every bite.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:\u00a0<\/strong>Since this is a savory dish, a bit of sugar helps amplify the natural sweetness in the tomato sauce and the tomato paste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thin pizza crust:\u00a0<\/strong>We&#8217;re using store-bought pizza dough to save time and energy here. Thin crust works best so you can ensure that the muffins cook quickly and thoroughly from top to bottom.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shredded mozzarella: <\/strong>We like using shredded mozzarella rather than fresh mozz in this recipe. The shredded version holds less moisture than the fresh balls do, so you&#8217;re left with cheesy pizza muffins that aren&#8217;t too wet or soggy.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient-title\"><b class=\"sIngredient\">Optional toppings: <\/b>Pepperoni, olives, sausage, onion, green pepper, Canadian bacon, pineapple, tomatoes, fresh basil and crushed red pepper flakes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the sauce<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2028947\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Pizza-Muffins_TOHD24_191503_ChristineMa_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Make the sauce\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Christine Ma for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0F.

Once you&#8217;re ready to store them, freeze the cooled baked pizzas in a resealable freezer container or zip-top bag.
