Keto Cherry Blueberry Clafoutis

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/3 cup erythritol or low-carb sweetener of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered erythritol, for dusting (optional)
  • Coconut oil or butter, for greasing the baking dish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Oven and Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking dish or pie pan with coconut oil or butter.
  2. Prepare the Fruit: Wash and pit the cherries, then halve them. Rinse the blueberries and set both aside.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, and salt until well combined.
  4. Prepare Batter: In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add erythritol (or your preferred sweetener), vanilla extract, almond extract, and almond milk (or coconut milk). Whisk until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet egg mixture, stirring gently until smooth and no lumps remain. The batter should have a consistency similar to pancake batter.
  6. Arrange Fruit in Baking Dish: Arrange the fresh blueberries and cherries evenly in the greased baking dish.
  7. Pour Batter Over Fruit: Pour the prepared batter over the fruit in the baking dish, ensuring the fruit is evenly covered.
  8. Bake the Clafoutis: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is set in the center and lightly golden brown on top. The edges may puff up slightly and start to pull away from the sides of the dish.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the clafoutis cool for 10-15 minutes. Optionally, dust with powdered erythritol before serving.

Useful Information:

Clafoutis is a classic French dessert traditionally made with cherries, though this keto-friendly version incorporates both cherries and blueberries for a delightful twist. The combination of almond and coconut flour ensures a gluten-free and low-carb base, while erythritol provides sweetness without the impact on blood sugar levels.

Almond flour, rich in healthy fats and protein, contributes to the moist and tender texture of the clafoutis. Coconut flour, known for its absorbency, helps bind the ingredients together. These flours also impart a subtle nutty flavor that complements the sweetness of the fruit.

Eggs serve as the main binder for the clafoutis, providing structure and richness. Almond milk or coconut milk adds creaminess without the added sugars found in dairy milk, making this dessert suitable for those following a ketogenic or low-carb diet.

When baking, ensure the clafoutis is set but still slightly jiggly in the center to achieve the perfect texture. Letting it cool slightly before serving allows the flavors to meld together, creating a satisfying dessert that pairs well with a dollop of keto-friendly whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered erythritol.

Enjoy this keto cherry blueberry clafoutis as a guilt-free treat that satisfies your sweet tooth while adhering to your dietary preferences. It’s ideal for gatherings or as a special dessert to enjoy with family and friends.
