Ingredients

Pizza Base:

Topping Ideas:

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F / 175 C
  • Open muffins in half and lay on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Spread ½ - 2 tablespoons sauce over each muffin half.
  • Add 1 tablespoon cheese to each.
  • Add any toppings you prefer.
  • Top with the other 1 tablespoon cheese.
  • Bake in oven for about 10-12 minutes, watching as you go and taking out when just beginning to brown. If you like them crispier then bake until browning on top.

Notes

  • Toast The Muffins First: If you like a crispier base, you can toast the English muffins for a few minutes before adding the sauce and toppings. It gives the muffins a little more texture and they tend to hold up under the sauce and toppings better too.
  • Don't Overload The Toppings: Too many toppings will make your English muffin pizzas soggy and they may even fall apart while eating. Stick to 3-4 toppings per pizza max.
  • Use A Mix Of Cheeses: To add a little more flavor, I sometimes add a sprinkle of 2 different cheeses for variety (e.g. vegan parmesan and vegan mozzarella together).
  • Let Kids Build Their Own: I like to create a toppings bar and let my kids build their own pizzas. It's a fun way to get them involved and more likely to try new veggies!
  • Other Ways To Cook: If you don't want to heat up your oven you can also prepare the english muffin pizzas in the toaster oven or air fryer. For the toaster oven, bake as directed, but keep a close eye as they might be done a little faster. For the air fryer, use the same temperature, but reduce the cook time to about 4 minutes.
  • Note On Toppings: Mix and match any toppings you want! You can also add in other types of cheese or sauces. See post for more ideas.
  • Nutrition facts include the basic recipe only, no toppings. True numbers will vary depending on ingredients and brands used.
