Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (120 g / 4.2 oz) unflavored whey protein powder, or vanilla for a sweeter version
  • 4 tbsp (60 ml) melted coconut oil, plus extra for greasing the tins
  • 2 cups (480 ml) unflavored almond milk
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ tsp (2.5 g / 0.09 oz) Celtic sea salt
  • for Perfect Popovers
  • Ensure your eggs and almond milk are at room temperature before mixing to help the popovers rise to their full potential.
  • Resist the urge to open the oven door while baking! A sudden drop in temperature will cause your popovers to deflate.
  • For the best 'pop,' your popover tin and the oil in it must be extremely hot before you add the batter.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F / 220°C. Generously grease a 12-cup popover or muffin tin with coconut oil.
  3. Place the greased tin into the preheating oven for 8-10 minutes to get it screaming hot.
  4. While the tin heats, combine the whey protein, almond milk, eggs, and salt in a blender or a medium bowl.
  5. Blend or whisk until the batter is completely smooth and free of lumps.
  6. Carefully remove the hot tin from the oven.
  7. Working quickly, add about 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) of melted coconut oil into each cup—it should sizzle. Immediately pour the batter into each cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F / 220°C.
  9. DO NOT open the oven door.
  10. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F / 165°C and continue to bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, or until the popovers are tall, golden brown, and firm to the touch.
