Creating Garlic Butter Pizza Cupcakes is a fun and satisfying process. Follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with paper liners or grease it well.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, buttermilk, and eggs until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Fold in Cheese and Toppings: Gently fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese and your choice of pizza toppings.
6. Fill Cupcake Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
7. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
9. Prepare Garlic Butter: While the cupcakes are cooling, melt the garlic butter in a small bowl.
10. Brush with Garlic Butter: Once cooled, brush the warm cupcakes with the melted garlic butter.
11. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
