Gluten-free Pão de Queijo muffins with cheese chunks are a delightful treat inspired by traditional Brazilian cheese bread. Their history begins in Brazil, where tapioca starch has long been used in cooking. These muffins have an airy texture, a crispy crust, and a rich cheesy flavor complemented by soft pieces of suluguni cheese. They are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or cozy tea time. With their gluten-free composition, even those on special diets can enjoy them. Serve them warm to fully appreciate the rich cheesy aroma.
