All the savory flavors of pizza in a 2 minute microwaveable muffin!
This recipe was born out of desperation. (OK, maybe desperation is a strong word) But it was one of those days that I was hanging around the fridge trying to decide "What in the world am I going to eat?" I'm not so good at planning ahead, though I know that I have much better success on my Trim Healthy Mama journey when I map out meals ahead of time.
Anyway, I suddenly came upon the inspiration to make a savory muffin in a mug! What better to try than pizza! I already have several pizza-themed recipes (Low Carb Stromboli, Sausage and Cheese Calzones), so why not add another to the list?
This comes together quickly and takes less than two minutes to cook in the microwave. Cheesy pizza goodness in two minutes? Yes, please!
Now a word about this recipe. Please, please, please don't be disappointed that this muffin in a mug doesn't taste like pizza crust - it is not even intended to mimic pizza crust. It is a muffin, with a muffin texture. A muffin with pepperoni, cheese, and Italian spices - and it tastes delicious!
Low Carb Pizza Muffin in a Mug {THM-S, Low Carb}
- 1 Tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 Cup Almond Flour
- 1/2 Teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Sprinkle of garlic powder
- Sprinkle of onion powder
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 2 Tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6-8 pepperoni slices, chopped
- Melt 1 Tablespoon butter in large mug or large microwaveable ramekin.
- Add remaining ingredients and microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds (I have a 1000 watt microwave - you may need to adjust times slightly for higher or lower wattage).
NOTES:
I used kitchen scissors to finely chop the pepperoni slices into small bits, but you can use the pepperoni however you want.
Feel free to eat it right out of the mug, or turn it out onto a plate and top it with a sprinkle of mozzarella and serve with your favorite pizza sauce!

This is an interesting concept. I usually do sweet muffins, but a savory muffin sounds great, too! Thanks!

You have some awesome recipes!!! Why, why, why don't you add a link that allows me to print them? I would be on your website a lot more often if knew there was a print friendly option. Screen shot pics are the worst!!! They waste so much ink and the layout is never set up as one page. I hope you consider adding this option! It would definitely help out a busy mom like me!!!

I am definitely considering it! Hopefully that option will be available soon! Thanks for stopping by!

I made this tonight and it was delicious. Thank you - it hit the spot!
dsdjhardy
Wonderful! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

If I used THM Baking Blend how much to sub for the almond flour in your recipe? This sure looks like a neat idea for a savory muffin!
dsdjhardy
I would start with 2 Tablespoons and see what the "dough" looked like. Baking Blend is much more "thirsty" than almond flour, so you either need to use less or add more liquid.
Glenda
Thank you very much!

This recipe is so good!!! I make it for lunch a couple times a week. Unfortunately I don't have a microwave so mine takes a little longer to make, but so worth it! Thanks

What would happen if I put the whole egg instead of just the yolk?
Sarah Hardy
It may change the texture a bit, but I think it would still be fine.
carrie
I used sausage rinse well with it about 2 tablespoon and it was delish used whole egg my question is its just one that you eat for your meal right
Sarah Hardy
Yes, I would only eat one, then fill up with non-starchy vegetables. 🙂

This is the BEST! It is SO QUICK to throw together, so I make it for myself when the rest of the family has regular pizza, and I don't feel left out at all! Thanks, Sarah!
