Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 3/4 cups milk

2 large eggs

1/2 cup melted butter (plus extra for greasing)

1 cup marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup sliced pepperoni

1/4 cup sliced bell peppers (optional)

1/4 cup chopped onions (optional)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Maker: Turn on your waffle maker to preheat while you prepare the batter.

    Make the Waffle Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be smooth but slightly lumpy; do not overmix.

      Grease the Waffle Maker: Lightly spray or brush the preheated waffle maker with some melted butter to prevent sticking.

        Cook the Waffles: Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the waffle maker, close the lid, and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually 3-5 minutes) until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter to make approximately 4-6 mini waffles.

          Assemble Mini Waffle Pizzas: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place each cooked waffle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread a tablespoon of marinara sauce over each waffle, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top.

            Add Toppings: Distribute the sliced pepperoni, bell peppers, and onions evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle dried oregano and garlic powder for added flavor.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

                Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, slice into quarters, and serve warm.
