Ingredients
Tapioca flour (or a mix of sweet and sour cassava starch) | 2 cups |
|---|---|
Milk (any kind you prefer) | ¾ cup |
Baking powder | 1 tablespoon |
Salt | ½ teaspoon |
Freshly ground black pepper | ¼ teaspoon |
Butter | 8 tablespoons (1 stick) |
Nutritional yeast | 3–4 tablespoons |
Grated carrot | 1 unit |

Processo
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and grease the muffin tin with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
In a large bowl, combine the tapioca flour, milk, baking powder, salt, pepper, butter, and nutritional yeast.
Add the grated carrot and mix well with a whisk or immersion blender for about 5 seconds, scraping the sides with a spatula to fully incorporate.

Bake for approximately 20 minutes, until the muffins are lightly golden and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Vegan and light recipe
This recipe is a variation of traditional Brazilian cheese bread — we swapped the cheese for carrot and nutritional yeast, making it vegan and light.
Add specials for new flavors.
Try adding spices or herbs: cinnamon, nutmeg, fresh herbs, or even lemon zest. Each variation brings a new flavor.
Increase the nutritional value.
Adding seeds like chia, sunflower, or pumpkin boosts nutrition without changing the taste.
TREAT yourself
These muffins are little edible hugs: soft, gently sweet, and nourishing. Perfect for a pause, a breakfast full of energy, or simply giving yourself a moment of mindful, delicious care.
