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!
This is what a popover pan looks like.
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 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.

I’ve still never made popovers, but these look great. Love the fact they’re pumpkin spice too haha, I’m a bit obsessed!
Popovers are so versatile. I hope you get a chance to try them 🙂
These look absolutely wonderful!! I love anything and everything pumpkin this time of the year!!
Thank you Sarah 🙂
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.
I don’t know why I waited a year to use my tripod. I feel pretty silly now 🙂
These popovers look amazing and bringing in fall with the pumpkin.
I appreciate the comment Peter 🙂
Beautiful little fall treats you’ve created here; do you deliver? 🙂
For you? I would send a box out today 🙂
Another great one Sandi! Really unique and innovative. I have to try one of your recipes one of these days 🙂 Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you so much Derek 🙂
OMG, these pictures are SO GOOD! I’ve never made popovers, but I just might now! These look great!
Thank you Cali…I finally got the courage to use my tripod 🙂
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!
I love popovers, and I love fall-inspired flavors. This is such a great combination of two greats! Thanks for sharing!
These are darling, and I was delighted to scroll down to the recipe card and see how very simple they are, too! So perfect with a cup of tea this fall! Definitely pinning these to save and to share!
Thank you so much Shelley 🙂
I love popovers! What a great idea to make these pumpkin spice one! Pinned this one to my pumpkin everything board!
Thank you so much Sara 🙂
I was never a fan of popovers when I was a kid but definitely enjoy them now. I bet your pumpkin version tastes amazing!
Thank you Sharon 🙂
A delicious idea, they look so good.
Who said gluten free can’t be delicious? I love these popovers!
Thank you Katerina 🙂
Perfect, just in time or fall! Love that those are gluten-free, too!
Thank you Florian 🙂
I would surely love these pop-overs with a cup of tea!
Sandi…these popovers are so precious! A must-try for me for sure!
Thank you Linda 🙂
What a great idea for popovers. Pumpkin definitely makes this recipe stand out. The first time I tried a popover recipe, I had spillage. It wasn’t bad, but, I did learn from it.
I definitely held my breath over spillage 🙂 Glad yours turned out well after the first time.
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!
Thank you Diane 🙂
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!
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!
I hope you get a chance to try your popover pan Debi 🙂
I love the shape of these!! They sound so tasty!
Thank you Diana 🙂
Beautiful cuties. I love them!
It’s amazing how much chemistry is involved in baking. And the tension. Great that you’ve let us in on what happens and why we need not worry! 😉
I can’t even remember the last time I had a popover. These looks so cute and honestly like I can just pop one in my mouth and enjoy.
I hope you get a chance to try one sometime Michelle 🙂
These look fantastic, Sandi. I love that they are just basic popovers with pumpkin spice added. 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing this recipe on our Gluten-Free Recipe Fix: Back to School and Fall Recipes edition!

Thank you so much Shirley 🙂
Oh, how I love popovers, your pumpkin version sounds wonderful, perfect for fall!
These look so good, I love popovers!
Thank you Elena 🙂
We LOVE popovers here, but i’ve never tried a gluten-free version before. I will have to try your recipe soon!
yum. I love these! and gluten-free? awesome!
These would be lovely with some afternoon tea!
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!
Wow Christine, that is great. Does your daughter notice a difference being off gluten?
I have loved popovers since I was a kid but never had sweet or flavored ones!! These sound wonderful and the fact that they are Gluten-Free is great!!
Enjoy 🙂
Any chance this recipe would work in a muffin tin? I don’t own a pop over pan. Thanks!
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 🙂
Popovers are the cutest things.I just love saying it : Popovers Popovers lol
Thank you 🙂
I love popovers, but I’ve never made it with pumpkin spice though! How creative! Got to try this soon.
This is such a cool idea! Pinning 🙂
Thank you so much Becky 🙂
I cannot get enough pumpkin and these popovers look amazing, and gluten free too! Yum!
Thank you Emily 🙂
Gorgeous recipe. I thought it would be really difficult to make a popover GF but you have done it and with fun fall ingredients. I can’t wait to try this. Sharing everywhere!
Thank you so much. I hope you like them as much as we do 🙂
They look delicious. You got such a good rise on them.
Thank you Peter…I just wish they didn’t fall so quickly!
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.
Hi Bebe, I haven’t tested any egg substitutes. Puffy breads like this puff up because of the egg in the recipe. If you do try one, please come back and let us know how it turned out.
So cute! I must get hold of these pans asap!!
These popovers looks delicious! Perfect for fall, yum!
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 🙂
Strawberry cream popovers sound pretty amazing too 🙂
I’ve never come across popovers before but they look scrumptious.
These popovers look absolutely perfect! I’m loving the pumpkin recipes!
Thank you so much Julie 🙂
