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
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour Batter into Dish: Pour the blended batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the surface evenly.
- 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.
- 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.
