Pizza ‘cupcake’

I’m always on the hunt for recipes that may be a win for fussy eaters.

This pizza ‘cupcakes’ one is great as it can be modified to suit your child.

It tastes great! However, although it uses the same ingredients (minus the sugar) of a regular cup cake, the additional ingredients give it a different texture.

It ends up being light but with wide air holes so cake-shaped but not texturally the same.

Recipe – Pizza ‘cupcake’

1 cup grated cheese (I used tasty)
½ cup flour (I used wholemeal)
1 tsp baking powder
Salt
½ tsp oregano (optional)
1 egg
¼ cup milk
1 hpd tsp tomato paste
¼ cup sliced meat (optional) – I used sausage but could be pepperoni etc. Without this it would be quite bland so if your child doesn’t eat meat is there something else with flavour you could add?

Method

Heat oven to 180°
Mix together the cheese, flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl, plus oregano, if using
Whisk egg, tomato paste and milk together
Stir egg mix and sliced meat into the dry ingredients
Spoon into muffin tin/cup cases
Bake in the oven for approx. 20 mins until browning on top
Serve warm or send in the lunchbox
