Instructions:
Create the Batter: Start by mixing flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine milk, egg, and melted butter. Merge the wet mixture with the dry ingredients, gently stirring until just combined. Mix in half of the shredded mozzarella.
Assemble the Muffins: Lightly oil a muffin tin. Distribute a portion of the batter into each muffin compartment, creating a base. Layer each with a spoonful of marinara sauce and a scattering of mini pepperoni. Cover with another dollop of batter, then garnish with the remaining mozzarella and additional pepperoni slices.
Baking Time: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the muffin tin to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the muffins turn golden brown and are fully baked.
Final Touches: Allow the muffins to cool briefly in the pan, then embellish with freshly chopped basil. Serve the muffins warm and enjoy!
