Have you tried a popover yet?

Popovers are almost like a little airy souffle that you can hold in your hand and eat.

These gluten-free pumpkin spice popovers would make a great fall treat.

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 a 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!

I made a video which is down below so you can watch how to make these gluten-free popovers!

See how high these rose up?

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?

You do not need a fancy popover pan! I think mine was $15. It is specially designed so that the heat hits 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.

  1. Hi! I am planning to make these tomorrow. Do I have to adjust the time if I am using a muffin/cupcake pan? Thanks

    • Hi Christina, I have not made this recipe in a muffin tin. I would check these at about the 15 minute mark, which is sooner than with a popover pan…keep an eye on them. They puff way up 🙂

  4. I still have not managed to get around to make popovers. I saw those for the first time years ago on a friends blog with strawberry cream. I love the way you show it in the video, so easy to follow and motivating too 🙂

  7. Looks great! But, is there a vegan version. Will I be able to sub flax meal or chia seed for the eggs? Sometimes I use a bit of soy or Silk bread protein milk for some of the water to add the protein that some recipes need when replacing the egg.

    • You know, it should be fine Barbara…thinking about it you will need to be careful not to fill the cup more than half way because these rise way up and you don’t want any spillage into the bottom of your oven. Let me know how they turn out 🙂

  16. I can’t wait to try these! I have all the ingredients! Hope to carve out some time later today because my daughter has given up gluten and I think she would be excited to try them!

  27. These sound so good, and I love how easy they are. I have a beautiful popover pan that I’ve never used, and I really need to. I’ve pinned your recipe to make, and I’m thinking that these would be perfect for Thanksgiving. Great recipe! Thanks!

  28. Popovers are seriously on my list of favorite foods, so I love this recipe! I’ve never tried making them Pumpkin Spice – sounds to tasty!

  29. These little cuties can come to breakfast anytime! I know what you mean about the picky child. And about filling the muffin tins too full. Hate it when they go over!

  40. Oooo these sound perfect for fall! I’ve never made popovers before so need to try these! Going to try using a dairy free milk and coconut milk to try making these dairy free as well!

  45. I’ve never added flavourings into my popovers – great idea. Also, I saw on FBC facebook group your post about using a tripod, it’s great that you discovered it! I use it 99% of the time even when it’s bright and enough light.
