    Mini Pizza Muffins with Broccoli are piled up on a striped colorful rectangle plate with a mini green bowl of pizza sauce behind.

    Pizza Muffins just sound like they would be perfect for any casual get together. An improvement would be to make them mini and even better - add a vegetable. Voila! Mini Pizza Muffins with Broccoli!

    Mini Pizza Muffins with Broccoli are piled up on a striped colorful rectangle plate with a mini green bowl of pizza sauce behind.

    As an appetizer Mini Pizza Muffins can be handled much easier than regular size muffins. The perfect appetizer is from one to three bites so these are right in there.

    You can even dunk them in pizza sauce - or not - but what's not fun about dunking. As always, I like to switch things up so when I was making these muffins I thought "I should add a veggie!".

    Broccoli seemed like the right choice because it's flavor blends perfectly with the stronger tastes of the pizza sauce. It was a go.

    My idea of a perfect get-together or game day spread is two different dips, one being something like Spicy Black Bean Hummus, with a big plate of sliced raw vegetables, chips, crackers, and two handy appetizers.

    Appetizers that you can just pick up with your fingers. This mini muffin recipe is just one of those recipes.

    After you've ironed out your choices and made a list, all you have left to do is have drinks galore and invite your friends and/or family.

    How Do You Prepare Broccoli for Mini Pizza Muffins?

    Cut the broccoli florets off of the stem. Pare the stems to get down to the tasty inside part.

    Steam the stems, only, for about 5-7 minutes.

    Add the florets and steam for up to 10 more minutes until the stem is fork tender.

    Cool the broccoli and cut the stem into very small pieces and the florets into small bits. They fall apart pretty easily. There you go.

    So, go ahead. Enjoy these unusual appetizers as much as we do and more importantly - have fun!

    Mini Pizza Muffins are a healthy afternoon snack and a fun appetizer at any get-together.
     

    This recipe makes 24 minis but I would recommend doubling the batch. They will go fast.

    Here's a quick pic to show how full the tins are before baking.
