One of the biggest perks of breakfast in bed (any time of day!) is that there is very little cleanup. There are no tables to set and no dinnerware sets are dirtied in the process, which gives you more time to relax and actually enjoy your meal. I surprised Mike with breakfast in bed and I wanted to make him something a little different. I love my morning bowl of oats and these beautiful popovers are just another way to eat them. And Mike (who normally won’t touch a bowl of oats) asked me to make these again. I think this breakfast in bed will be showing itself again in our near future.
Honey-Glazed Popovers
(Yield: 6 popovers)
2 large eggs
1 c low-fat or fat-free milk
1/2 c rolled oats
1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp fine salt
1 TB super fine sugar
1 TB butter, melted and cooled slightly
1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste
3 tsp canola oil, to grease the pan
Honey Glaze:
1 TB honey
1 tsp rose water (optional)
Popover pan (to make 6 popovers)
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425F. While the oven is preheating, let the eggs and the milk sit out at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Measure 1/2 tsp canola oil into each popover cup. In a blender, process the oats until they become a fine powder; pulse in the flour, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla bean paste. Pour the egg mixture into the blender with the oat mixture and pulse three times, then use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender and pulse one more time; be careful not to over-process. The batter will be thin and a little lumpy.
Pour the batter into the popover pan, filling each cup about halfway full. Bake for 20 minutes at 425F, then turn down the oven to 350F and bake for another 8 minutes. (Do not oven the oven during the cooking process.) Remove from oven and use a sharp knife to cut a slit in the top of each popover to allow the steam to escape.
Drizzle the tops with the honey glaze and serve immediately.

Fantastic honey glazed popovers. I would overdose on these for sure. Great job!
What a great idea to make a sweet popover Faith! These are lovely treats for eating in bed!
I don’t even like sweets, but these look so cute and so yummy I wish I had one here with me right now…
Faith, I never think of popovers as healthy but I think you have proven me wrong. I love that you use oats in these. The honey drizzle is swooning me. Everyone in this house would love it if I served them this breakfast in bed. Love that pretty tray. :) xo
I love how you threw the “dinnerware sets” in there. You are one clever cookie.
The popovers look AMAZING. I might just make myself breakfast in bed just so I can get the full effect.
I’ve never tried making popovers. I need to get one of those nifty pans! These turned out beautifully and I absolutely love that vintage platter!
I’ve never even heard of a popover before. But these look really good!
These sound incredibly good. I love popovers but have never though to glaze them. I’ll wager these were amazing. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings…Mary
Faith…I’ve yet to make popovers…my excuse…I need that freaky looking pan…I love it!
Having them sweetened up that way has put an even bigger smile on my tummy ;o)
BTW…I mostly like my cheesecake with chocolate too…and the fruit one is a very close happy cousin ;o)) Hopefuly you’ll one day try it out too.
Thanks for sharing your Sweet Popovers recipe and all the very best in what else you’ll be coming up with next ;)
Ciao for now,

Beautiful! They also look like they could be a perfect morning or afternoon tea snack too.
I have never had breakfast in bed unless I am very sick. I think it’s just not Chinese or Malaysian thing…haha. Your breakfast-in-bed meal looks very inviting. I’m sure Mike is all smiles : Love the popover. Looks very delicious….mmmm
You even make popovers look good. I don’t know how you do it.
Love that plate in the second photo; I think it is the second.
I never wanted popovers before but I am tempted to make them now. I am controlling myself.

The one thing I can’t make is popovers. They baffle me.
