{updated post from 2014}
Welcome back! today I'm sharing with you our first chipa recipe.
I know is not a new recipe for the blog. It's an update from 2014. But when I started thinking about chipa recipes, I thought I should start with this one, chipa licuadora.
It's so easy to make; you add everything to a blender, pour it into muffin cups, and then to the oven!
I wanted to start with this recipe because it's the first chipa recipe I got from my friend Jazmín (have you checked out her Facebook page yet? if not, check it out here).
Jazmín is an amazing baker, a very talented cake decorator who is willing to share with us her delicious recipes. Thank you Jazmín!
Note: this is not a very common recipe in Paraguay. It comes from the Mennonite community, and one of Jazmín's family shared it with her. I think a lot more people in Asunción are making it now, precisely because it is so easy! I took this recipe to Bolivia and my family loved it. My mom has made this chipa licuadora recipe for different meetings and everybody asked for the recipe. It's that yummy!
What about the ingredients for this chipa? don't forget to check out my post on how to make chipa - ingredients.
Let's go to the recipe!
For this chipa recipe, you need your oven to be very hot. Before you get all your ingredients out, turn on the oven.
If you think your blender can handle it, add all the ingredients to it and blend.
The other option is to blend the eggs, milk, and oil and pour this over the yuca starch and cheese, and then mix everything.
Do not overfill the muffin tin. This chipa puffs up really well in the oven, if you overfilled it, your chipa will be too gummy.
This chipa licuadora is best right out of the oven, with a nice cup of tea or coffee.
How do like the recipe? is it something you would try at home? I hope you take a little bit of Paraguay wherever you are.

Hey Lizet,
Finally got around to trying these..taste great but I have a question..are they supposed to be kind of hollow inside....inside is almost like a popover the way mine turned out?

Lizet
Hi Michael, I'm so glad you tried this chipa. Yes, these chipas are more like popovers, but chewy at the same time.
I know you've tried a few of my chipa recipes, which one do you like best?
Michael
Lizet, I've tried Chinpa almidon and these.. I love the chipa almidon. Have made it many, many times. These are good but just a bit too airy. I love how easy they are though, I may try it once more. Your mbeju recipe is one I use all the time BTW 🙂
Lizet
Yeah, this chipa licuadora is not very common in Paraguay.
I'm glad you like mbeju! with this cold weather we're having now, is the perfect recipe.
Capri
I did as you recommended and had it with a nice cup of coffee. It was great!
Shelley
So crazy-awesome that you can literally just dump everything in the blender - LOVE that!!! I'd never seen this recipe from when you posted it earlier - thanks for re-sharing!
Erica
These look so easy and delicious. Pinning these to try later as I always need fun gluten free recipes. 😋

I'd never heard of chipa licuaora until this article, but it sounds just delicious. My neighbor avoids gluten, this would be perfect to share with her. Definitely on my to do list.
Anita
This recipe is so easy to prepare and the bread are delicious! This is the first time for me using cassava flour, and now I want to try other recipes with this flour. 🙂
Becky
Top recipe! Quick and easy, but we just can’t stop eating them! May seem strange but they taste great dipped in marinara sauce
Lizet
I'm so glad you guys like it that much. Yes, marinara sauce or pizza sauce. I know some people fill them with ham and cheese too.
Kari
Dividí la receta a la mitad porque en casa somos dos e igual salio riquísima. Es genial!
Lizet Flores de Bowen
Que bueno Kari! me alegra que salió bien.
Angie | Fiesta Friday
This is worth a try definitely! They look almost like they've been fried and crisp on the outside. Are they?! I'm very curious. I don't know if I can find cassava flour, but if I do I'll give this chipa a try!
Lizet Flores de Bowen
Hi Angi! these chipas are baked. But they are crispy on the outside and cheese on the inside. I hope you try them soon!

Chipa and cassava flour are new to me but when you add lots of yummy cheese to any recipe it has to be good.
Lizet Flores de Bowen
Hi Judith! yes, anything cheesy is good! 🙂

I'm always on the look out for different gluten free breads to try and this has me intrigued. I'm certainly going to have to bake these in the coming week, so glad I've found this recipe. #FiestaFriday

I´m glad you liked it! was that Anna? who came to your house?

Thanks for sharing! A gal from Paraguay came here (our home in the Oregon) a few nights ago and shared your recipe with me. My husband is from Paraguay and we lived in Bolivia for 4 years. That is where I learned to love cunape....this tastes a lot like it and looks very easy !
