- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 120 g shredded Parmesan cheese
- 90 g low-moisture mozzarella , small diced

- ½ tablespoon dried oregano
- 60 - 80 g pepperoni , small diced (you can also use sausage, ham, or cooked bacon)

- Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with baking spray with flour and set aside.
- In a blender, combine the egg, oil, milk, and salt. Blend for 1 minute.
- Add the shredded cheese, tapioca starch, and baking powder to the blender. Blend for 3 minutes until smooth.

Notes
Store: Chipa with pepperoni is best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Make ahead: Not recommended for making ahead.
Freeze: For longer storage, freeze the baked chipas in a single layer until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. To reheat, warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for a few minutes or microwave briefly. Avoid overheating—they can turn dry or tough.
