Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup cheddar cheese, cubed
1 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup green pepper, finely chopped
1/4 cup pizza sauce
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, basil and baking soda until combined. Stir in cheddar cubes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, eggs and butter until smooth. Stir into flour mixture just until well combined and no dry spots remain; stir in sweet pepper (batter will be very thick). Spoon batter into muffin cups, dividing evenly. Spoon 1 tsp pizza sauce on top of each muffin; sprinkle each with shredded mozzarella.
Bake about 20 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in centre of one of middle muffins comes out clean. Let muffins cool in pan at least 5 minutes before removing, then let cool completely on a wire rack.
You can freeze muffins in an airtight container for up to 1 month; defrost at room temperature.
