Clafoutis ~NO-SUGAR Dessert In 10 Minutes

With the abundance of apples, plums and peaches. We can make a healthy and very tasty dessert that takes 10 minutes to make! It doesn’t get better than that.
Yesterday, I noticed the plums we starting to ‘over’ ripe. I saved them by making plum clafoutis. “It’s delicious!” remarked my dinner guest. We had some cold clafoutis for lunch the next day.

 Ingredients 
▢ 450g (1 lb) fruit - cherries/plums/peaches/cranberries
▢ 4 eggs
▢ Himalayan salt - a pinch (any salt is good)
▢ 100g (1/2 cup) ground almonds 
▢ 30 gm (2 tbsp) rice flour (you can use almond flour)
▢ 500 ml (2 cups + 2 tbsp) milk
▢ 60g (¼ cup) granulated stevia (any sugar replacement)
▢ 4g (1 tsp) Vanilla bean paste (or extract)
▢ 2g (1/2 tsp) almond extract 
▢ butter and 'bread crumbs'(NEW) for the dish lining 

Instructions
Step 1 First, preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F. 
Step 2 Butter the baking dish (1.5-liter/1.6 qt dish) and dust 
 with fine "bread crumbs". Spread the fruit on the bottom of the dish. 
Step 3 In a blender, combine all ingredients. Mix until blended. 
Step 4 Pour the prepared batter over the fruit. 
Step 5 Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes. 
Step 6 When the dessert has set, take it out of the oven and rest  
5 to 10 minutes. 
Sprinkle sparsely with nutmeg or toasted almonds (optional). 
Serve warm or cold.

My video 8 years ago. I now use fine bread crumbs instead of sugar for dusting the baking vessels. Works like a charm. (no added flavour)

Line your spring formed pan with parchment or wax paper

ADD SPICES and HERBS to your clafoutis: Basal with peach clafoutis. Lavender pairs with peaches if you have it. Orange zest, almonds, hazelnut and grated ginger with plum clafoutis. Cardamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon pair with apples. A savory version of clafoutis consists of tomatoes, cheese, and prosciutto. Oregano, chili powder, scallions, garlic, cilantro, dill and basil is a good addition to savory clafoutis.

Sugar is our downfall. 😳

Sugar addicts reveal yourselves! What is the Cure?
First, admit you are (i) eating too much sugar (ii) using too much sugar substitutes! This recipe has sugar substitute*. Try cutting down or leaving out the sweetener. All other flavours are enhanced. Feel better and live better.

Apple Clafoutis


*Sugar substitutes like Stevia raises your insulin levels identical to cane sugar!

Recent studies show that there is no difference between cane sugar, monk fruit, beet sugar, stevia and other artificial sugar substitutes – with respect to insulin levels. Insulin will rise when ingesting artificial sugar substitute. Research has indicated identical results with all forms of sweeteners. So far – little research has been made. Soon, you will see more studies and results–> healthline.com

      Some fruits don’t ripen. They just start rotting. Peaches will ripen. Buying hard peaches is good. Strawberries must be bought ripe and sweet I get them from farms not the grocery store. There is no “one” answer fits all. When you can pull a green spike easily from the top of a pineapple, then its ripe to buy. Add an apple to your potatoes to keep them fresh. Brown bags keep the light out slows the rotting process. Try adding an apple in the bag. Time varies depending on the initial condition of the fruit. Its really hit and miss. I like cooking fruit. They are tasty and digest well. If the fruit is hard I usually just cook them up.

        I cook a lot with fruit too. It sweetens the pot without adding sugar.
        You taught me a few new ones with those apples – thanks. I knew putting your hard avocado in a brown bag will help ripen it.
        Thanks for the help!

        Sorry I wish I had a better answer. I chop some ‘hard’ fruit into my yogurt. More palatable that way. 🍓You are better off with stone fruit. I did find a bad one in the bunch after 2 or 3 days. 🍑 You have to prepare them all almost the same day. 😟

      Thanks Velva! ❤️ I am working towards healthy and ways of reducing sugar. Sometimes we do need sugar to allow yeast to rise and other dishes. I drink soda with various flavors..no sugar anymore. We need to rewire our brain. 🥰
