Servings: 18
Calories: 95kcal
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup canola oil, or other neutral flavored oil
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup packed shredded or crumbled cheese (any type of cheese will work, stronger cheeses will be more flavorful)
- 1 1/2 cups tapioca flour (note that it may also be called tapioca starch)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400°F. Prepare a mini muffin tin (see note) by greasing all of the muffin cups. Set aside.
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender, adding the liquid ingredients first for easier mixing. Blend on high speed until you have a smooth batter, scraping down the sides as needed. Pour batter in to the prepared muffin tin, filling mini muffin cups almost all the way (leave about 1/4" to 1/8" of space at the top). Bake for 15-20 minutes or until just beginning to brown on the top. Serve warm, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
You can make the cheese bread in regular muffin tins. I would recommend filling the cups only halfway. You may need to add 5-10 minutes on to the baking time.
