In a mixing bowl, combine tapioca flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

In a separate bowl, whisk together plant-based milk and olive oil until well combined.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Grease a mini muffin tin with oil or line with paper liners.

Scoop the dough into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden and puffed.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

Carefully remove the cheese breads from the tin and serve warm.
