Gluten-Free Clafoutis
Celebrate the best of summer fruit with our gluten-free clafoutis with blueberries, lemon zest, and candied ginger.
And, don’t be intimidated by the name because this gluten-free clafoutis is an incredibly easy recipe. It’s just one step more than “blend-and-bake.”
If you haven’t had clafoutis before, it’s similar to a cake-like flan or custardy cake: just think “delicious!”
Gluten-Free Clafoutis: How this Recipe is Better
Traditional clafoutis uses wheat flour but we substituted oat flour for a richer taste and better texture. Another benefit is that the eggs and Double Protein Oats add more protein and fiber than the traditional recipe, which helps keep your blood sugar level and gives an added boost to your immune system.
In addition, we decreased the sugar level. But we think you could even make this more a breakfast-type dish by substituting the sugar with dates. Just blend 1 cup of dates with your oat milk and eliminate the sugar. Another healthy swap is to replace the candied ginger with fresh ginger. And, let us know if you try it!
Special Diet Features
Our gluten-free clafoutis is also dairy free, peanut free, soy free, tree nut free, low glycemic.
And, of course, you can make this vegan and egg-free by substituting flax eggs or another egg substitute.
