# Let's Cook!:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in half of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
02 -
Grease a muffin tin. Spoon a small layer of the batter into each muffin cup, filling it about halfway. Add a teaspoon of marinara sauce and a few mini pepperoni slices on top of the batter. Cover with more batter until the muffin cups are about ¾ full. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and add a couple of mini pepperoni slices on top for extra flavor and texture.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Once baked, let the muffins cool slightly in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack. Garnish with freshly chopped basil for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm.
