Grain Free Blueberry Almond Clafoutis

When we brought home over 9lbs of fresh blueberries a couple of weeks ago, the first thing we did was to freeze a bunch for smoothies and winter baking. Obviously, we all ate a good amount at pretty much every meal and we also made these scones. When there was just one last lonely container left sitting in the fridge, I saw this video pop up in my Facebook feed about a Cherry Clafoutis.

I have been wanting to make a Clafoutis for a while and I thought this was the perfect way to use up the rest of the blueberries. Plus, by using blueberries instead of cherries, I could save some time since the blueberries only need to be washed and dried, whereas cherries need to be washed, pitted and dried.

After reading some recipes and thinking about flavor combinations, I knew that I wanted to bring in subtle almond flavors and try my hand at a grain free version of a Clafoutis.

Now, I know that this is not, by any means, “authentic” as the classic French recipe is made with white flour, white sugar and cow’s milk but let me tell you – this is GOOD, really, really good!!

I used blanched almond flour, a bit of coconut sugar and Pacific Foods Organic Unsweetened Almond Original milk plus a bit of almond extract and a pretty rim of sliced almonds.

This Blueberry Almond Clafoutis comes together quickly and can be assembled ahead of time and tossed in the oven while eating dinner. I think it’s best served warm but we had the leftovers cold for breakfast the next morning and it disappeared in minutes.
