I used the recipe from a fantastic little recipe booklet called ‘BYTE SIZE’. If you don’t have this booklet in your recipe collection, I strongly advise you try to get a copy from Nutricia. The recipe is very easy to follow and you can change the toppings for your own choice. Keir loves olives so I topped mine with olives, green peppers and chopped up small tomatoes (deseeded). He finished a whole pizza muffin for his tea. His sister couldn’t resist and tried one as well. It was lovely to watch them eat together. Here’s the recipe for you to try it out.
