Ingredients

  • 1/3 C extra virgin olive oil
  • 2/3 C milk
  • 1.5 C tapioca flour
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 tsp salt or more - to taste
  • 1/2 C cheese parmesan, grated
  • 1 Tbsp butter for greasing the muffin cups

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Grease your mini muffin pan thoroughly with butter, and set aside.
  • In your blender or KitchenAid, combine the milk, room temperature egg, oil, cheese and salt until combined.
  • Once combined, add the tapioca flour 1/2 C. at a time until all of the tapioca flour has been added.
  • Mix well on high, scraping down the sides of the blender so that everything is easily blended. The batter will be very liquid!
  • Pour the batter into your greased mini muffin tin ~ leaving just 1/8 inch of space at the top.
  • Pop in the oven for 14-15 minutes or until light golden brown.

Notes

Batter can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge for up to one week.Prior to baking, batter will  be very liquid!  Do not open the oven while baking!
