Meatless Monday: Whole Wheat Pizza Puffs
How did I NOT know about pizza puffs? They might be the most perfect food ever invented. Seriously. My vegetarian husband is IN LOVE, my kids can’t get enough and I’m just psyched to serve them at my next dinner party. I think maybe I’ve had one too many pizza puffs?!
I believe the “inventor” of the pizza puff is Rachel Ray. Her pizza puffs look delicious, but also incredibly devilish. Lots of pepperoni, white flour, cheese, etc.
We did a little experimenting with different fillings and found a combination that the whole family loves. After we’ve had our fill, I let the leftovers cool down completely and then throw them in a freezer bag.
They taste just as great warmed up in a 350 degree oven whenever you need a little something to eat. (Or have company pop over!)

I just recently discovered pizza puffs too and loved them! I made the basic pepperoni kind, but I’m so happy to find a healthier version – I can’t wait to try these!
Made these tonight and they were a hit! Made pineapple ones for the kids (their favorite pizza topping) and making bell pepper and mushroom ones for the grown up (in the oven still and smell yum!). What a fun idea. Kids had fun helping me make them. 😀
These looked so yummy and easy that I felt inspired! I made a version with turkey sausage and spinach and shared the result on my blog (with credit to you of course). Thanks for the idea! Next I’m going to try a breakfast version.
Will this recipe work with white flour?
They are delisicous!!
Anyone try a vegan version?

I just made these as an appetizer for Thanksgiving. They were very easy! Next time I would add some Italian herbs and a little salt to the dough for extra flavor.
