Skip the processed frozen poppers and opt for these homemade Baked Jalapeno Poppers. Creamy, cheesy, and so delicious.

Growing up, my biggest weakness was TGIF's frozen Jalapeno Poppers – they are seriously so good, but also super processed and not practical. I decided to come up with my own version years ago and somehow this recipe still hits the spot.

What are Baked Jalapeno Poppers?

Baked Jalapeno Poppers are essentially jalapenos sliced and stuffed with a cream cheese filling. The jalapeno is then pressed onto panko crumbs and baked in the oven.

Can I make this recipe vegan, gluten-free?

YES!

For a vegan option – use vegan cream cheese and Mexican cheese.

For a gluten-free option – use gluten-free panko crumbs.
