Gluten-Free Clafoutis Recipe with Almond Flour and Bananas | Chef Terry
Introduction
This episode of Simply Elegant Home Cooking presents a delicious gluten-free clafoutis with bananas, a variation of the classic French dessert. The recipe has been simplified and adapted to be gluten-free, using almond and oat flour instead of the traditional all-purpose flour, making it a delightful treat for those with gluten sensitivities.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter
- 1 cup of milk
- ½ cup of sugar
- Amaretto extract (around ½ teaspoon)
- Nutmeg (around ¼ teaspoon or to taste)
- A pinch of salt
- ¼ cup of almond flour
- Oat flour
- Bananas (sliced, enough to cover the bottom of the cast iron pan)
- Butter for greasing the pan
Preparation Steps
-
Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Grease a cast iron pan with butter and arrange sliced bananas at the bottom.
-
Mix the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs slightly.
- Add melted butter, milk, sugar, Amaretto extract, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Gradually add the almond flour and oat flour, mixing until well combined. The batter will be very loose.
-
Pour the Batter and Bake:
- Pour the batter over the bananas in the prepared cast iron pan, being careful not to move the banana slices too much.
- Bake in the preheated oven for at least 45 minutes. Start checking at around 35-40 minutes. The clafoutis is done when it's poofy and just starting to turn brown on the top.
-
Serve:
- Let the clafoutis cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free clafoutis with bananas, a perfect treat that's soft, poofy, and deliciously gluten-free.
Conclusion
This gluten-free clafoutis with bananas is a wonderful adaptation of the classic French dessert, making it accessible to those on a gluten-free diet. The combination of almond and oat flour with the natural sweetness of bananas and the richness of the batter results in a dessert that is not only satisfying but also comforting.
