✨Naturally sugar-free clafoutis? Oh yes, we did this. We love our gluten-free clafoutis recipe! SO much so that we wanted to be able to have it for breakfast.😋
Traditional clafoutis uses wheat flour, milk, and sugar but we made several subs to make it dairy-free, sugar-free, and gluten-free. The oat flour gives a richer taste and better texture, not to mention more protein and fiber. The date water lends a deeper, gentle sweetness. So, this is a LOW GLYCEMIC dessert AND a healthy breakfast.💪🏽💪🏻
Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Clafoutis
makes 1 pie or casserole, about 8 servings
Ingredients
1 T butter or other fat to coat baking dish (or line dish with parchment paper and only coat sides)
1.5 cups dates pitted, soaked in just enough water to cover in order to soften (soaking is optional, soaking helps dates blend into smooth liquid)
1 tsp sea salt
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
128 grams ZEGO Oats ground into flour in blender or food processor (about 1 cup)
2 cups water
2 cups cherries, blueberries, or other berries (fresh or frozen)
Zest of 2-3 lemons (optional)
Method
Preheat oven to 350F. Coat a pie dish or casserole. This recipe can make 2 pies or one taller casserole.
To make date water, remove the pits from the dates, and soak 1 hr or overnight. If you don’t have time, you can simmer them for 10 minutes in just enough water to cover the dates. Then blend the dates, and water (in blender) with another 2 cups of room temp water for 30+ seconds. The total volume will be about 2.5 cups.
Wisk all ingredients together except berries and lemon zest. Eliminate any lumps. Batter will be thin, not thick.
Pour batter into the baking dish to a height of 1/2 inch.
Bake 10-15 minutes until center is cooked but jiggly.
Take the dish out of the oven and pour the berries on top.
Pour the rest of the batter over the berries.
Zest your lemons so they sprinkle over the top of the batter and spread over top
Bake for another 55-60 minutes until edges are browned and the center is soft.
Optional: Serve with dairy-free ricotta, yogurt or coconut cream, shaved coconut, and more lemon zest.
Enjoy! 🍋
