gluten free pizza muffins

Lunches are a very hard thing for me to come up with.  It seems like we either have a ton of leftovers or as soon as I am planning on leftovers for lunch we don't have anything, and then I am opening cupboards, freezers and trying to come up with something.  The other day when I was on my famous lunch search, I pulled something off! 

I had a little hamburger in the frig, but not enough for taco or anything like that.  I told my oldest I was going to try something on my own.  I took a recipe that I have made for breakfast a few days before and switched it around for a lunch. And I made two batches to have for the next day, which worked great. Got approval from my four little critics.

Pizza Egg Muffins (gluten free and could be gaps friendly-but watch the meats you put into your muffins)

Makes 12 muffins

6 eggs


Are those just not beautiful egg yolks?
This is for a double recipe!

4 TBS butter (coconut oil) melted

1/2 tsp sea salt

6 TBS or 1/4 c plus 2 TBS of coconut flour

1/2 baking powder

1/4 tsp Italian seasoning

garlic granules (I like putting little extra in mine but you don't have too)

seasoned hamburger, or Italian sausage, pepperoni or anything you like on your pizzas

1 c of mozzarella cheese

a little Parmesan cheese

pizza sauce for dipping



1. Preheat over to 400



I didn't feel like getting my big one down
so I just used my small food processor!



2. If you need to cook up your meat (if it is leftovers even better). If you are using hamburger or ground pork, season your meat with a little Italian seasoning or whatever flavors you like but you won't need a lot for your muffin will have seasoning in it too.

3. Blend eggs, melted butter or coconut oil, and salt in a bowl



4. Mix coconut flour and baking powder, and Italian seasoning. Add to egg mixture until there are no lumps.

5. Throw your veggies, meat, etc with the cheese into the food processor and pulse until crumbled.  (save a little cheese for the top of your muffins)

6. Stir in your meat, veggies, etc and mozzarella with a little Parmesan. 

7. Grease muffin pan with butter, coconut oil or lard and pour batter in.  I used an ice cream scooper, perfect size to fill one. 

8. Place a little extra of mozzarella and Parmesan on top and bake for 15 minutes.

9.  Dip into your side of pizza sauce and enjoy.  Note: if you wanted to make these for the go and the car, skip the sauce!
