Ingredients In
Mini Veggie Pizza Cups
Flour – 1 cup
Baking powder – 1 tsp
Salt – 1/4 tsp
Milk – 3/4 cup
Oil – 2 tbsps
Nutralite eggless mayonnaise (any flavour) – 3 tbsps
Tomato or pizza sauce – 1/2 cup
Grated mozzarella – 1 cup (plus a little extra for topping)
Finely chopped capsicum – 1/2 cup
Sweet corn kernels – 1/3 cup
Finely chopped tomatoes – 1/3 cup
Mixed chopped bell peppers – 1/3 cup
Dried oregano – 1/2 tsp
Red chilli flakes – 1/4 tsp (optional)
Fresh basil leaves
How to Make Mini Veggie Pizza Cups
Step 1: Whisk the batter
In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Pour in the milk and oil, then stir in 3 tablespoons Nutralite Mayonnaise until the mix is just combined. The mayo keeps the batter tender and comes enriched with vitamins A, D2 and E.
Step 2: Prep the Topping
Toss the grated mozzarella with capsicum, corn, tomatoes, bell peppers, oregano and a pinch of chilli flakes. Hold back a little cheese for the tops.
Step 3: Form the Bases
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a mini muffin tin. Spoon a small amount of batter into each cup and use the back of the spoon to flatten and spread it into a shallow base.
Step 4: Add Sauce and Topping
Place a tiny smear of tomato or pizza sauce on each base. Add the veggie-cheese mix, pressing lightly so the topping sits neatly on the base. Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top.
Step 5: Bake briefly
Bake for 12–14 minutes until the edges are golden and the cheese has melted. Let the cups rest in the tin for 1–2 minutes so they set, then lift them onto a rack.
Step 6: Finish and Serve
Just before serving, add a small amount of mayo or a light drizzle to each cup and scatter torn basil over them. Serve warm so the cheese is gooey and easy for little hands to enjoy.
