These Healthy Broccoli Pesto Pizza Muffins Will Help You Eat Your Veggies
Sneak broccoli into into pizza with these Pesto Pizza Muffins. The broccoli taste is discreet, and the basil-ey, pesto flavors in this recipe strongly overpower any hint of vegetable. So these muffins are great if you aren’t wild about the taste of plants. They’re also perfect for on-the-go, and make a convenient lunchbox meal. Not to mention, this recipe gives you the opportunity to soak up the last bits of summer with fresh basil and tomatoes –we recommend them right off the vine, from your local farmer’s market.
