Preparation
Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 410 degrees F. Coat a 12 cup muffin pan with non-stick spray & set aside. In a large bowl, combine egg whites with flaxseed meal, seasonings, & lastly, the baking powder. Whisk together & set aside for a few minutes. It’ll be lumpy & fluff up a bit. Next, pour the flaxseed meal & egg mixture into the greased muffin cups, filling each about halfway full.
Step 2
Place pan into the oven & bake at 410 degrees F. for approximately 15 minutes. They’ll be really puffy when you remove them, but they start to deflate a bit once they’re out of the oven for a minute or two.
Step 3
Now they’re ready for their toppings! I chose to do mine simple, with just a teeny bit of pizza sauce, pinch of cheese on each, & then a pepperoni slice, sprinkled with a bit of seasonings. Add your toppings, then place the pan under the broiler for about 7-8 minutes. The cheese will start to brown & bubble slightly.
Step 4
Remove them from the oven & let the pan cool a bit, then dig in & enjoy! They also store in the fridge well in a tupperware & make a great little snack! I actually really liked it a day after & then warmed up in the microwave for a few seconds… reminded me of some tasty leftover pizza! Yum!!
