Our chickens have started laying again, which means we have an abundant supply of eggs. Several of our customers went on vacation and at one point we had more than eight dozen and hadn't yet collected that day!
While I've previously made egg-based almond flour cakes that use at least a handful of eggs, I wanted to make something that would be less of a dessert while still being a treat. My thoughts turned to popovers and I came up with the following:
Paleo Popovers!
Ingredients:
1 dozen eggs
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)
3 Tablespoons butter or coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400f
Melt butter in an 8" square baking pan in the oven
while the oven comes up to temperature.
Mix eggs, coconut flour, and maple or honey.
Pour mixture into melted butter in the preheated pan.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
 |
| Full height after 20 minutes. |
While it will reach an impressive height about half way through the baking process, it will continue to brown and then collapse a bit as it cools.
Perhaps someday I'll try this recipe in muffin tins. Until then I doubt we will have a hard time eating it like this. I've now made this recipe more than once and each batch doesn't seem to last even two full days at our house! It's a great protein-rich snack that feels like a dessert.
