Recipe: Chocolate Bread Bites (Gluten Free!)


After making and improving the Brazilian Cheese Bread Bites, and because I had a ton of Tapioca Flour left over, I started to wonder how this recipe would be if I made them in a chocolate form! Oh my goodness! I haven't had a better idea yet!
I used the base of the original recipe (excluding the cheese, of course) and I added chocolate chips and bits of marshmallows. Now, the first batch that I made, was okay, but was feeling like it was still lacking something. So, before I put in the second part of the first batch, I added bits of marshmallow and it was amazing! Top it off with some whipped cream and you're in Heaven!
The second batch that I whipped up, I did the same thing, except that I added some sugar and a little more of some of the other ingredients. I kept the marshmallow bits and with only two of the bites, I added a bit of caramel. The possibilities of these sweet treats are endless! I foresee making these over and over again!
Now, I can teach my mom how to make these and spread the joy!

Ingredients:

1 egg, room temperature
1/3 cup olive oil
2/3 cup milk
1 1/2 cup tapioca flour (order online or grab at the local health food store)
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or your choice of chips)
2-4 teaspoons sugar
1 large marshmallow, cut into bits (might need 2 depending)
whipped cream for garnish

Preheat oven to 400*. Grease a mini muffin pan and set aside.
Mix together egg, oil, milk, flour, salt, vanilla, sugar and chocolate chips in the blender. (Again, not a typo).
Blend until most of the chocolate chips are no longer visible or tiny bits.
Pour half way into each tin. Add a piece of marshmallow in the center of each tin.
Bake for 16 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack.
Just before eating, place some whipped cream on top and enjoy!

Note:* Best eaten warm! Pop them into the microwave for 5 seconds.
Marshmallow bits are just a suggestion. You can try adding the caramel bits (bakes the same), or use marshmallow or add some chocolate chips on top of the batter...choices are endless!

Enjoy!
