Ingredients
- 1 cup Tapioca Flour
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp fine sea salt + any other seasonings you choose!
- ¼ cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup freshly grated cheddar cheese
How To Make Them
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Grease a mini muffin pan. I have this silicone one.
- Blend the tapioca flour, almond milk, olive oil, salt and egg until you have a smooth batter.
- Stir in the cheese with a rubber spatula.
- Fill each muffin hole a little more than halfway with the batter. These will puff up a lot!
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm 🙂
