Breakfast Popovers Recipe

This is a family favorite that I’ve been making for years! We love our breakfast recipes around here and this easy breakfast popovers recipe is one of our all time favorites.

Super easy, as you’ll see, this is a great recipe for kids just learning their way round the kitchen. These popovers are super easy and pretty tough to mess up because they are THAT simple.

My family calls them Easy Breakfast Popovers.

They are easy from start to finish, quick, affordable and most of all … delicious!

Once you get this recipe down, you can whip them up from start to finish in around 20 minutes. This is what makes them my go-to for a quick and delicious breakfast option!

I literally blend them up in the mixer and pour them into muffin tins – no need for a special popover pan – pop them into a hot oven and wait 9-12 minutes (until the tops are a deep golden brown – and they are done! One of my favorite easy recipes, always a success! I like to keep everything that I need to make these on my grocery ingredient checklist because they really are my go-to breakfast item if I need something quick.

You can also hand mix them with a wire whisk but just make sure to whisk eggs really well because the airier they are, the better they are and the higher they rise.

As you will discover, these also tend to rise differently depending on your location, the weather and other variables. I love airy popovers so I’m always hoping for the impressive heights that perfect popovers can get, although they don’t always raise the way you want. Sometimes you’ll get large popovers and sometimes you’ll get small popovers.

But, regardless of how they look, they are always delicious. In other words, it’s likely you won’t have any leftovers with these. We never do because everyone loves them so much!

Ingredients for making breakfast popovers

Flour

Eggs (The more eggs, the denser the popover, and sometimes I remove a couple yolks but prefer whole eggs)

Whole milk (1% or 2% milk will work as well)

Melted butter

Vanilla

Sugar

How to make Popovers

Preheat the oven to 450F.

Blend all ingredients in a blender or mix by hand in a large bowl. (there will be small lumps)

Spray muffin tins with Pam cooking spray. (even if you have a nonstick popover pan) Fill muffin tins 1/2 way with popover batter. Bake popovers in the oven for about 9 to 12 minutes on middle rack (watch them close, because they can start to darken quickly past 9 min).

I like the tops to get a little crispy, so I’ll usually move them to the top rack for the last minute or so. If you like crispy sides, then let them go a little longer.

I either serve them right from the popover cups / popover tin or put them on a wire rack. You want to serve them right away though, so no need to let them cool. I’d get the toppings on them and start serving them right away!

Now that your popovers are done, adding the toppings is the very best part!

What to Serve with Popovers

Get creative! Top these with home canned peaches ~ blueberries ~ applesauce, syrup, powdered sugar… whatever you like!

Today we used bananas and fresh picked raspberries (so good!) This recipe makes 16-20 Popovers.

We love egg recipes around here and this easy to make popover recipe is actually one of the first recipes that my kids learned to make on their own and let me tell you, it’s pretty awesome to have a tweenager helping you in the kitchen.

Quite often we will double this recipe for leftover popovers. Store them in an airtight container and you can have sweet popovers for breakfast (or a snack) the next day! I actually love snacking on these so I’m never sad if we have leftovers, they are so yummy! They actually remind me of cream puffs (without the cream filling) just to good!

And of course, the rewards of making breakfast on his own has this kid grinning from ear to ear, as you can see:

Recipes like this are a great way to get kids started in the kitchen. We love our weekend breakfast recipes, and this is definitely one of our go-to favorites! Great recipes like this are always nice to have on hand for large groups too. They are inexpensive to make and can be made just about anywhere.
