Calories In A Banana Popover

Fluffy, hollow rolls tinged with the sweet taste of bananas, banana popovers may serve as a side dish, dessert or snack. As a bread product, banana popovers derive most of their calories from carbohydrates.

Calories

A plain homemade popover created with butter, whole eggs and all-purpose flour contains 159 calories. Converting regular popovers to banana popovers typically involves adding mashed banana to the top of each popover just before baking them. Adding 1 tbsp. of mashed ripe banana to each popover translates to an extra 12.5 calories, which equals a total of 171.5 calories per banana popover.

Features

A homemade banana popover contains approximately 19 g of fat with 5 g of saturated fat. Other sources of the calories in a banana popover include close to 5.3 g of fiber and just over 17 g of carbohydrates.

Low-Calorie Serving Suggestion

Reduce fat calories in a homemade banana popover recipe by using fat-free milk and substituting olive oil for butter, suggests Evelyn Tribole, registered dietitian and author of "More Healthy Homestyle Cooking." Use equal parts of banana and blueberries to create a banana-berry popover that has more vitamin C and higher levels of disease-fighting antioxidants than a plain banana popover.
