My kids really enjoy muffins, and they love pizza, so I thought I should put them together.  I make these in double batches (or triple, or more!) so I can freeze the extra for their lunch boxes.   I will be posting some other versions I make that have some of our other favorite pizza flavors.  What do you like one your pizza?

You can use cheese substitute, or not.  We like them both ways.  Enjoy!
