• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups tapioca flour

1 cup whole milk

2 large eggs

1/3 cup vegetable oil (avocado oil or light olive oil)

½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set out several mini muffin pans. Spray them generously with nonstick cooking spray. (Or brush generously with oil.)

In a blender, combine all the ingredients. Cover and puree until smooth and frothy.

Use a spoon to portion the batter into the muffin pans, filling the wells ¾ full.

Bake undisturbed for 19-20 minutes until golden and puffed.

If you needed to repeat with the remaining batter, puree the batter another 30 seconds to create additional froth before re-spraying and refilling the pans. Serve warm.
