Denser than typical popovers, these little gems make a filling snack, especially when paired with a bit of natural peanut butter. The cayenne adds a slight bite to these popovers but can be omitted, if desired, or substituted with your favorite pumpkin spice blend.

Tip: Be sure to preheat your pan with your oven to make sure it’s very hot when you pour your batter in.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 egg whites
  • 2 cups skim milk
  • 2 Tbsp. canola oil
  • 2 cups flour
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • ⅛ tsp. cayenne

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF, placing a 12-cup muffin pan on a baking sheet in the oven to heat with the oven.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, egg whites, milk, and oil until smooth.
  3. Combine flour, salt, pie spice, and cayenne in a large bowl. Whisk the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients until smooth.
  4. Remove the muffin pan from the oven and coat it with cooking spray. Divide the batter among the prepared cups. Bake the popovers until they are puffed and browned (25-30 minutes).
  5. Remove the popovers from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350ºF. With a small knife, cut small slits into the sides of the popovers, 3 or 4 per popover. Bake until fully cooked (7-10 minutes).
