Pipeline for analysing multiple tumor/normal exome samples

I have a set of biological replicates consisting of multiple normal and tumor mouse samples. The samples are not matched (each sample corresponds to a different animal) but these are all mice from the same litter and are supposed to be genetically identical (apart from the somatic mutations in tumors).

I am interested in a pipeline that would produce joint analysis of all samples. All the pipelines/tutorials I've seen are about single tumor/normal pairs. In theory, these can be re-used for multiple replicates by looking at overlapping mutations. But this seems to me to be a bit primitive. Also, in my case the samples are not matched so maybe it makes sense to consider some sort of cohort/pooled analysis.

I am facing such an experimental design for the first time so would welcome any suggestions.

Try deepSNV. It is not built exactly for your situation but it might be more applicable than MuTect or Strelka.
