Ingredients
Servings
6
- 1 cup almond flour (blanched, finely ground)
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (gluten-free)
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup whole milk or unsweetened dairy-free milk (such as almond or oat milk)
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter or dairy-free margarine
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated (use dairy-free cheddar for dairy-free option)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- Optional
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a 6-cup popover pan or muffin tin with butter or oil.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the milk and melted butter, whisking until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter will be slightly thick but should drop easily from a spoon.
-
Fold in the grated cheddar cheese and chopped fresh chives, mixing until evenly distributed. Season with black pepper if desired.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the 6 prepared cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
-
Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C), then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for another 10 minutes until golden brown, puffed, and set in the center.
-
Remove the popovers from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool slightly.
-
Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or snack.
-
To freeze: Once completely cooled, wrap each popover tightly in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in a 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 10-12 minutes until warmed through and crisp.
Storage and Reheating
Store cooled popovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze tightly wrapped popovers for up to 2 months. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes until warmed through and crisp at the edges.
