Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (such as sugar, honey, or a sugar substitute)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or non-stick spray for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, flour, sweetener, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, forming a batter.
  2. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish or pie dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Pour Batter into Dish: Pour the blended batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the surface evenly.
  4. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is puffed, lightly golden, and set in the center.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the clafoutis from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, plain or with fresh fruit or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

  • You can substitute sweetener with your preferred option like maple syrup or agave nectar, adjusting the quantity to taste.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blends, 1:1 ratio.
  • Adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter can enhance the flavor profile.
  • Ensure not to overblend the batter to keep some texture from the cottage cheese if desired.
  • Clafoutis is best eaten within 2 days and can be refrigerated for leftovers.
