• 1 tea­spoon dried basil
• 1/2 tea­spoon bak­ing soda

• 1/4 cup but­ter, melted
• 1/2 cup finely chopped red or green sweet pep­per (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Pre­heat oven to 400ºF and place paper lin­ers in muf­fin tins.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, bak­ing pow­der, salt, basil and bak­ing soda until com­bined. Stir in ched­dar cubes.

In a medium bowl, whisk yogurt, eggs and but­ter until smooth. Stir in flour mix until well com­bined; add in sweet pep­per (bat­ter will be very thick).

Spoon bat­ter into muf­fin cups, divid­ing evenly. Spoon 1 tsp pizza sauce over top of each muf­fin; and then sprin­kle with shred­ded moz­zarella.

Bake about 20 min­utes, until golden and a tooth­pick inserted in cen­tre of a muf­fin comes out clean. Let muffins cool in pan for 5 min­utes before remov­ing, then cool on a wire rack.
