Bananas Foster Popovers
This post may contain affiliate links. See my disclosure policy.
A few months ago when I was trying to think of ideas to use up a large batch of fresh strawberries, the idea of using popovers in place of traditional shortcake came to mind. Those Strawberries and Cream Popovers turned out so lovely that I didn’t want to stop there. A bananas foster version was too tempting to pass up. Puffy popovers make the perfect foundation for sliced bananas and a hot, buttery caramel sauce topped with whipped cream!
These all-original Bananas Foster Popovers are fun to make, look really neat, and taste even better
Bananas Foster Popovers Recipe
Let’s get started!
Pull out your popover pan.
Grease each cup with butter.
Beat the eggs until light, then add the remaining wet ingredients, except for the butter, and beat until combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, beating just until combined. Add the butter and whisk quickly. Be very careful not to over-beat, or the popovers won’t rise properly.
Fill the popover tins about 2/3 full.
Place the popovers on the bottom rack of an oven preheated at 450 F. Bake for 20 minutes at 450 (DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR), then reduce heat to 350 and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until they’re a deep, golden brown.
Remove them from the oven and stick the tip of a knife in the top of each popover to release the steam. Let the popovers sit in the cups for a minute before removing. Cut each popover in half vertically, leaving the back attached, fold them open and fill with some of the pudding, the strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately.

My daughter has just started to roll and she loves moving!
Taking my son to the Aquarium was loads of fun — he loved watching the seals play and chase the balls.
My son loved to put the empty box on his head and try to run around!
So many fun memories of mine and nephews & nieces. I’ll say the time my niece came up to me when I returned home with “baby eat worms, baby eat worms.” She was 20 months and my daughter (baby) was 8 months.
Oh one of our funniest diaper stories was when we put a swim diaper on instead of a regular diaper…after dinner…we were wondering why he was soaked and the highchair was all wet….then we realized it was a swim diaper instead! UGH Had to laugh!

My niece and nephew’s first trip to the beach!
my son loves to run ever since he learned to walk he just wanted to be everywhere at once
my 2 year old niece thinks she’s a teenager. she always asks for her privacy in the bathroom and climbs into the driver’s seat of the car, saying “i drive, i drive!”
My husband changing diapers is always a great memory, backwards, ripped tabs etc.
When my 2nd son was born, my older son was 20 months old. I remember how amazed my older son was to see his tiny baby brother.

When my nephew was first learning to walk, he would grab the handles of this push toy for support, one leg would be bent, as if crawling on the ground, the other would be straight, as if walking upright. He was not quite sure how to walk, it was adorable to watch.
