Have you tried a popover yet? These pumpkin spice gluten free popovers are almost like a little airy souffle that you can hold in your hand and eat.
This gluten free pumpkin spice popover recipe would make a great fall treat. If you love gluten free bread as much as we do, you will want to try all of my gluten free bread recipes.
What is a popover?
As I mentioned above, a popover is like a souffle and a roll combined into one delicious bread. These pumpkin popovers rise way up above the pan as they cook. You have to get them out of the oven quickly because they fall pretty quickly as they cool down.
If you don't have a popover pan, you can easily make this recipe for popovers in a muffin tin. Your gluten-free popovers will just be a lot shorter. They will still rise up and taste light and fluffy!
They make delicious bread with soup and stews! (Here are some tasty soup recipes that you can dip these into Lentil Soup With Bacon or this Creamy Butternut Squash Soup.
Are you ready to watch a video to see how easy it is to make gluten free popovers??
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. These popovers would be gorgeous to serve over the holidays. Combine a basic popover recipe with pumpkin spice and you get the perfect pumpkin popover recipe!
As I first start off, I do need to tell you how deceptively easy this popover recipe is to make. You fill the little cups in the popover pan about halfway. And bam, they are light and fluffy right out of the oven.
When they are baking in the oven, they rise way up. You may worry that they will spill over the top edges!
I flavored my popover recipe with pumpkin spice for fall. You can easily omit the pumpkin spice and enjoy them all year long!
What is the best popover pan?
Above shows you what a popover pan looks like.
You do not need a fancy popover pan! I think this one was $15 on Amazon. It is specially designed so that the heat hits the popovers at all angles of the popover evenly while it is baking.
Then, you take these beauties out of the oven and......ever so carefully remove them from their pan. Let them cool a bit then take a bite.
As you can see in this picture, they have already deflated about 25% from their original size! You have to be quick!
The gluten free popovers turn out crispy on the outside and moist and chewy on the inside. They would go wonderfully with any meal or have one with a cup of tea or coffee :-). These popovers are wheat free and Celiac safe.

Loved the flavor of these popovers! Unfortunately, I had to make them in a muffin tin, and the center was a little raw. I even cooked them an extra 5 min and let cool before eating. What did I do wrong? Could it have been the almond milk I used (instead of cow's milk)?

Hi Judy, I am not sure on the milk vs almond milk...Did you make sure your oven was fully at the right temperature before putting the popovers in? What gluten free flour blend did you use? Thank you,
Sandi
