Blueberry Popovers

March 10th is a great day to enjoy a Blueberry Popover. This is a great treat for breakfast, afternoon snack, or dessert. Blueberry popovers are a healthy alternative as well. They are also more economical than pop tarts that many of us have been known to purchase. There is still one question that may be on your mind, what exactly is a popover?? I am getting to that.... read on

A popover is not a muffin or a cupcake. A popover is a hollow type of bread that rises when baked, hence the term popover. The recipe I am sharing below can be used with apples, strawberries, chocolate chunks or chopped nuts. You can feel free to use any of these ideas or something else of your choosing. 

2 cups of all-purpose flour

4 eggs

1 cup of sugar

4 tablespoons of butter or margarine

2 cups of non-fat or low-fat milk

2 cups of fresh blueberries

Cooking spray

Preheat the oven to about 350 degrees. Coat your muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray like Pam. Divide the butter evenly into each cup of the pan. Place the pan in the oven.

In a bowl, mix the milk, eggs, and sugar. Slowly pour in the all-purpose flour and whisk well.

Chop up the blueberries into smaller chunks or chop them up in the food processor. Ideally, you’ll want slightly smaller chunks of blueberries, just be careful not to turn them into mush.

Pour the blueberries into the batter and mix well. Take out the muffin pans and let them cool before you pour the batter into the pans. Put them back in the oven to bake. Leave them in for about twenty minutes or until soft and golden.

Blueberry popovers are a delicious treat to make day or night. These treats are also easy enough for kids to make with the help of adult supervision of course. Why not make this recipe a part of every Saturday morning?
