Blueberry Clafoutis is afastdessert that is easy on the eyes and chock-full of fresh blueberries.

Blueberry Clafoutis

I officially have the best neighbors. A few weeks ago on my way to pick my older daughter up from preschool, my Korean friend from the community where I live, approached meand gave me a whole box of freshly picked blueberries. It's a blueberry season after all.

Since there was a lot of blueberries, I thought that a simple and easyblueberry dessert might be a good after dinner treat for my family.

As you already know, I'm obsessed with French food. Whenever I see an easy French recipe, I immediately start making it. Take this recent recipe of Mustard Chicken. So good!!
Anyways, after the birth of my second daughter, I rarely have much time for complicated recipes. So after I skimmed through the Internet, I found a great and easy French recipe to use up our blueberries.

The recipe is so simple. Just mix everything in a standing blender and the batter is ready. I love it. No need to clean a pileof dirty dishes afterwards.

By the way, it's me taking a picture in a spoon reflection. Hi there!:)

This blueberry clafoutis comes out very puffy, soft and juicy. The batter resembles the one used to make pancakes and if you love pancakes, you'll fall in love with this easy rustic dessert.

  Yes, I think soy milk or almond milk would be good substitutions.

Waste of my beautiful blueberries. The clafoutis was a rubbery mess and we had to throw it away. We followed instructions to the tee. I would not recommend this recipe. I realize it’s JC’s recipe so I’m not blaming the original poster; just suggesting you consider another recipe to highlight any berries you have.

I now make this recipe regularly. It is so easy but looks and tastes as though it would take real skill to put together. I use whatever berries I have on hand and/or are in season. It is equally good with all.

  Hi Diane! I'm so glad you like this recipe!
  I agree, it is one of the easiest French dessert recipes. Surprisingly, I've made Clafoutis with blueberries only, but I definitely should try to make it with other fruits and berries as well.
