What you need for this Cheese Puffs Recipe

Flour and baking powder: I use all purpose flour and baking powder, but you can also use self rising flour. Keep in mind though that in this case you won’t need any baking powder. 

Seasonings: garlic, onion powder and paprika for an amazing flavor. I can tell after testing it is a great seasoning mix which turns Cheese Puffs so delicious.

Dairy free butter and milk: butter makes a rich taste which addd another layering of flavor to the dough. Milk, and I use non dairy milk, is here to thin the batter.

Scallions and vegan bacon are both amazing. You have a great texture from the scallions and lots of flavors from bacon bites.

Finally, vegan cheddar cheese is what makes this puffs so good. Cheesy and unmistakably delicious in each and every bite.
