Irresistible gluten-free apple and raspberry clafoutis
Elevate your next brunch with Zoe Bingley-Pullin’s irresistible gluten-free apple and raspberry clafoutis recipe, straight from the Get Nourished kitchen.
As far as sweet treats go, it doesn’t get much better than a clafoutis (pronounced kla-fou-ti).
The traditional French dessert is made by baking fruit, typically cherries, in a thick, flan-like batter until set and golden, creating a luscious, custard-like consistency.
Nutritionist Zoe Bingley Pullin’s version uses grated apple for moisture and raspberries for a hint of tart and boasts a nutty, wholesome base that is both gluten-free and nutrient-rich.
The warm spices of ground cinnamon and nutmeg infuse the batter with a warming aroma, while coconut sugar adds a hint of natural sweetness.
This gluten-free take on the classic clafoutis is perfect as a cosy dessert or a sophisticated brunch treat.
Zoe’s No.1 tip?
Eat it within an hour of coming out of the oven and serve it with yoghurt for a cool contrast.
