    French Blueberry Clafoutis is a classic dessert with a custard-like texture. Super easy to make with simple ingredients and perfect for breakfast or dessert!

    If you’re looking for the perfect breakfast/brunch/afternoon snack/ after-dinner dessert recipe to bake this weekend, you’ve come to the right place. Meet this delicious, easy French blueberry clafoutis!

    This thick, fluffy and custardy cake is loaded with blueberry flavour, and SO easy to make with super simple ingredients.

    When it comes to favourite family breakfast recipes, nothing beats a classic French blueberry clafoutis for me (although fluffly pancakes come straight after).

    French Clafoutis is not as laborious to make, or heavy in sugars and butter, as other desserts, and it’s incredibly quick to put together.

    It really makes a lovely cosy treat to share at your breakfast table over the weekend, and it’s just as great to enjoy with a nice cup of tea in the afternoon.

    Ingredients

    This yummy blueberry clafoutis is quick, easy and fuss-free to whip up.

    All you need is super simple ingredients such as:

    • blueberries
    • milk
    • flour
    • eggs
    • sugar
    • vanilla
    • almond extract

    Instructions

    This custardy, delicious traditional clafoutis is an easy family dessert and a kid-approved recipe. Best of all, it comes together in a few easy-to-follow steps:

    • Arrange the blueberries onto the bottom of a cast-iron skillet.
    • Mix all the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl.
    • Pour the batter over your blueberries.
    • Bake in the oven until set!

    Before you know, you’ll have a delicious warm French blueberry clafoutis ready to enjoy.

    If you’re looking for a simple fruit-loaded dessert to share, clafoutis will not disappoint!

    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.

      Your dessert sounds simply delicious! I've never heard of A2 Milk before, but I'm gonna tell a good friend of mine about it, who happens to be lactose intolerant.

      Clafoutis is such a lovely French dessert typically done with cherries but the blueberry idea sounds delightful too. Must try it soon thanks for sharing.

      This sounds divine!! We always have a surplus of blueberries here in Canada and I get bored with the usual blueberry muffins or crisps!

      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.
