Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, vegetable oil, salt, and garlic powder. Heat over medium until it just begins to boil.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and gradually stir in the tapioca flour until fully combined. Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes.
  4. Once cooled, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The batter will be smooth and slightly sticky.
  5. Fold in the shredded cheese until evenly distributed.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and puffed.
  8. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm.
