Pizza Muffins Recipe – Easy & Kid Approved!

I’m so excited to share this crazy-easy pizza muffins recipe with you! Are you a big pizza fan like we are? My family has recently started the tradition of having Friday Movie Pizza Night together. Piled on the couch, we’re watching whatever kid-friendly show sounds good. We’ve all got a plate of pizza in our laps. Occasionally my husband and I will lean over and help my son take a bite. He’s usually so glued to the show that he forgets to eat. This little tradition has become one of our favorite parts of the week. It’s the perfect, relaxing end to a busy week.

Sometimes we order a pizza, sometimes I make one. And recently I come up with a quick and easy way to make it: pizza muffins. While this new way will not become our every-time pizza recipe, pizza muffins are definitely a fun, fast, and cheap way to shake up the pizza rotation.

Um, P.S. These would also be perfect for a party appetizer. They’re easy finger food and will be a hit!

Pizza muffins are a super easy and cheap way to make pizza at home. Pre-made Crescent Dinner Roll dough and a few simple ingredients popped in a muffin tin and baked in the oven. Definitely a dinner the kids will love or the perfect savory party appetizer.
