Ingredients
- 1 cup certified gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup whole milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter (or dairy-free butter)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 3/4 cup fresh blueberries
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a jumbo 6-cup muffin pan or a standard 12-cup muffin pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender or mixing bowl, combine eggs, cottage cheese, milk, melted butter, vanilla, and maple syrup until smooth.
- Combine Batter: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold the blueberries into the batter using a spatula.
- Fill the Muffin Pan: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Bake for 25-28 minutes or until puffed, golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the popovers to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. Serve warm with fresh berries, maple syrup, or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
Always use certified gluten-free ingredients if serving someone with celiac disease. Avoid opening the oven during baking to help the popovers rise properly. Fresh blueberries provide the best texture, but frozen blueberries can be used without thawing. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
