Can I use other fruit to make French clafoutis?
Absolutely!
I had fresh from the farmers market blueberries, so I thought it was the perfect way to use them.
The traditional recipe calls for unpitted cherries, but other fruit variations such as peach, plums, strawberries or blackberries would all make a wonderful clafoutis.
Can I make gluten-free clafoutis?
Yes, you can!
I’ve tested this French blueberry clafoutis with gluten-free flour and rice flour (if you’re in the UK look for Dove gluten-free flour or rice flour) and the result was pretty much the same as using all-purpose flour.

This will be perfect for brunch, once our weather cools off a tad. Fall is usually 50F degrees and a warm blueberry breakfast would hit the spot. I'm looking forward to try it.

I love clafoutis..!! I love how versatile it is. My kids love the raspberry or blueberry version. I guess it because of the tart flavor that comes with these berries. This recipes look so delish. yum.!

I have never made a clafoutis before but it sounds amazingly easy. I really like the blueberry you use in it but I can also see peaches, apples, or pears. A light dessert is always welcome.
