Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups tapioca flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (such as mozzarella or cheddar)
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, vegetable oil, salt, and garlic powder. Heat over medium until it just begins to boil.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and gradually stir in the tapioca flour until fully combined. Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes.
- Once cooled, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The batter will be smooth and slightly sticky.
- Fold in the shredded cheese until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and puffed.
- Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the batter.
- You can also substitute half of the cheese with crumbled feta for a tangy twist.
