    Brunch lovers!  This gluten-free clafoutis is made with cherries and berries! This rustic French classic makes an easy gluten-free breakfast or dessert! Deliciously made with milk, cream, eggs, gluten-free flour and your choice of berries.

    Clafoutis is a traditional French country recipe for a baked custard tart filled with fruit. It sounds impressive, but if you can make pancakes or waffles, you can make this Cherry Berry Gluten-free Clafoutis.

    Is it breakfast or is it dessert? You decide.

    My recipe is sugar-free, so it definitely qualifies for a breakfast or brunch dish. But I'd happily eat it for dessert any day, too.

    Imagine it--warm, straight from the oven with a dusting of powdered sugar (or 0-calorie sweetener) with a piping hot cup of coffee or tea. It's a no-fuss, quick and easy dish that you can make in a skillet or a cake pan, your choice.

    🛒 Ingredients

    • cherries and berries:  I used 1 cup each of frozen (thawed) cherries, blueberries and raspberries. Fresh fruit would be perfect, too.
    • cream and milk:  use half cream and half milk, or whatever proportions you like. Cream will make a richer custard filling.
    • sweetener:  sugar or 0-calorie sweetener. I used Lacanto Monkfruit sweetener with erythritol.
    • eggs:  3 large
    • vanilla extract: or try almond extract for a change
    • gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum
    • baking powder, salt

    🔪Instructions

    1. First, prepare a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or cake pan by greasing it with butter and dusting it with gluten-free flour. A cast-iron skillet helps to keep the clafoutis warm after it comes out of the oven.
    2. Next, spread the fresh or thawed berries and cherries on the bottom of the skillet. Mix the remaining ingredients together in a blender. If mixing by hand, combine the dry ingredients in one bowl, the wet in another, then stir well to combine.
    3. Finally, pour the filling on top of the berries and cherries and bake! It will puff up and turn slightly golden around the edges and look dreamy. And then . . . it will fall shortly after it comes out of the oven. No worries. It will taste divine.

    What is the best fruit for clafoutis?

    Use whatever fruit is in season, or even add in a few chocolate pieces. In the summer, you'll love this Gluten-Free Blueberry Peach Clafoutis. It's delicious with apples and pears in the fall.

    It's traditional to use whole unpitted cherries in this classic French country dish. I used pitted cherries and halved them as they were large.

    You decide:  dessert, brunch . . . or both? Whichever you choose, this recipe makes a very easy gluten-free dessert or breakfast!

      This was delicious and so easy! I used raspberries and blueberries that I had in the freezer. My family loved it. Thanks for a "keeper" recipe!

        Hi Dierdre, One of the best things about clafoutis is you can easily change what kind of fruit you use! It's a great way to use up frozen fruit.
