 Easy Pizza Muffins

These cute mini pizzas are fun for your little ones to eat!  Plus they are simple enough that small hands and short attention spans can be a big help in preparing them.  It's a win-win! 

The Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 large biscuits like Pillsbury Grands)
• pizza sauce
• shredded mozzarella cheese
• pizza toppings if desired (pepperoni, veggies, etc.)

The Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray 16 muffin cups with cooking spray.
2. Split biscuits in half (horizontally) into 2 somewhat even layers. Press biscuits halves, one at a time, between hands to flatten. Place each flattened biscuit in a muffin cup; press into bottom and up sides of muffin cup. Set aside for biscuit to settle and slightly rise, about 5 minutes.
3. Spoon pizza sauce into each biscuit; top each with mozzarella cheese and toppings of your choice.  (Adjust amount of sauce & cheese to your family's preferences.)
4. Bake in the preheated oven until biscuit is lightly browned and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Remove each pizza from tin and place on a cooling rack, about 5 minutes.
