Pizza Muffins

Muffins are often thought of as a sweet recipe. However, there are plenty of tasty savory muffin recipes as well. These pizza muffins are a great way to use up some leftovers - chopped vegetables, cheese, and spices. You can of course vary the ingredients depending on what kind of pizza you like. If you are craving pizza, but short on time, this recipe is great to do, and is very tasty. It is also more convenient to transport. I would suggest placing some sauce and cheese not only on the top, but in the middle of the muffins as well for even more pizza flavor.

Pizza Muffins
2 cups whole wheat or all-purpose (plain) flour
1/4 cup granulated (white) sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup cheddar cheese, cut into tiny cubes
1 cup plain yogurt
2 large eggs
1/4 soft margarine, melted
1/2 cup finely chopped sweet pepper
1/4 cup pizza sauce
1/2 cup shredded marble cheese

Preheat oven to 400◦F. Grease or line 12 muffin cups.
In a large bowl, stir together the first six dry ingredients. Stir in the cheese cubes.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, and margarine. Stir into dry ingredients, stir in pepper. 
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Spoon one teaspoon pizza sauce on each, then sprinkle with some cheese. 
Bake for about 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
