Gluten-Free Pizza Muffins

This gluten-free pizza muffins recipe is a hit with my kids. It is easy to pack in lunches and can be customized with your favorite pizza toppings.

My daughter says you need a scratch and sniff screen to smell these delicious pizza muffins. Pictures just don't do them justice! Apparently, my pictures are especially bad at capturing the flavor of the muffins because my daughter insisted that I photograph them on a red plate “to add spice” or pizzazz or something.

Even though I don't do a good job capturing the awesomeness of pizza muffins, these are delicious served at any meal, any time of day, for any reason. My daughter thinks they are best for breakfast served with a bowl of fruit. I think they are best served with minestrone soup and a salad at dinner. But they really shine when you need to pack a lunch for your gluten-intolerant child. The pizza muffins can be made in advance and frozen (but be sure to hide them way in the back where your family can't find them). Then they can be packed frozen and they will thaw by lunchtime.
