Notes
Tips & Suggestions:
I have included step-by-step photos and directions above to ensure your first attempt will be successful.
English muffins- We always use oil-free English muffins that I buy in the frozen food section at my local grocery store. The Ezekiel brand is completely oil-free and perfect for making these little personal pizzas.
For those who would like to make their own English muffins, I was able to find a 2-minute Flourless English Muffin Recipe online. I haven't tried it but read reviews from some that have, and I think they would be great.
Avoid soggy pizzas- The key to avoiding soggy English muffin pizzas is to toast the muffins before adding your toppings. This creates a crispy base that holds up better to the sauce and veggies, ensuring your pizzas come out perfectly crisp and delicious every time.
Vegetable toppings- Try bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, spinach, olives, or cherry tomatoes. These vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your pizzas.
Vegan cheese options- I highly recommend my vegan cheese sauce or this cashew mozzarella cheese that can be shredded.
Marinara pizza sauce- Store-bought is fine, and I have listed some of my favorites in the article above.
