4 eggs
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/3 cup coconut flour, sifted, 1 1/4 ounces
1/2 teaspoon dry buttermilk ranch dressing mix
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Whisk together the eggs, butter, salt, and garlic powder.
Combine the coconut flour with the baking powder and ranch dressing mix. Whisk into the egg mixture until there are no lumps.
Fold in the cheese.
Drop the batter by spoonfuls into greased mini muffin tins
If no muffin tin is available, bake on greased, rimmed baking sheet, keeping the batter as mounded as you can so that they won't end up too flat when they spread during baking.
Bake at 400º 10 to 15 minutes until as browned as you can get them without burning them.
Makes 18 mini muffins or 6 biscuits

Cook's Notes:
They crisp up nicely in the toaster oven the next day.
