Ingredients
- 140 grams Tapioca flour
- 250 milliliters Almond milk
- 60 milliliters Olive oil
- 25 grams Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine almond milk and olive oil and heat over medium flame until it reaches a gentle simmer.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately whisk in the tapioca flour until a smooth dough forms. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
Step 4
Once the mixture is cool enough to touch, stir in the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and baking powder until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 5
Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the dough and form them into balls approximately the size of a walnut. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each puff.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the puffs are lightly golden brown and puffed up.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the cheese puffs cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a snack or appetizer!
