Mini Blueblerry Clafoutis – vegan & gluten-free

This post is also available in: English Français

How to make a vegan and gluten-free clafoutis tastes as good as its traditional counterpart?

« Coffee is the most important meal of the day » to which I would add « coffee WITH CAKE is the most important meal of the day » 😊 ! With so many flavours to choose from, a fruity cake is all I want on these summer days!

In my opinion, no other cakes says summer like a clafoutis does! This fruity French baked dessert is traditionally made with eggs, milk, butter, sugar and a little flour which makes it very creamy. I, of course, needed to make a version that will be as good or even better without any of the dairy!

To do so I have chosen to use silken tofu. Silken tofu works perfectly as it is creamy without being too runny, with the addition of the agar agar powder so that your batter gets a thicker consistency. It is important to choose a good quality vanilla extract, it gives a natural sweet touch to any cake. I personally prefer to use vanilla paste as it is much richer which means that I tend to use less of it!

Forget about the traditional cherry clafoutis! For this yummy fruity French cake the star of the show is the blueberry! An occasion to enjoy all the wonderful benefits of this superfruit!

Blueberry – benefits :

–        One of the highest source of antioxidants to help us fight against certain cancer

–        Great source of vitamins (A, C, E)

–        Maintain eye health

–        Improve memory

–        Restore the digestive system

Among many other benefits …

Those mini clafoutis are an easy and yummy way to include more goodness into your diet!
