What even is a low carb blueberry clafoutis? I’m here to answer that and to give a low carb version of a clafoutis that you could use with any berry. Not only is this keto-friendly, but it is also gluten-free and dairy-free.

First of all, I’m a big fan of knowing how to say the word. This word is French. Here is a helpful YouTube clip with the pronunciation. My fancy pronunciation guide spelling is kle-foo-ti.

What is Clafoutis?

Clafoutis is a baked French dessert. It contains components that would also qualify for breakfast. The batter is similar to crepe batter. The final result is a little bit like cake, a little bit like a custard.

This could be made with any berry and it would also go well with stone fruit.

In this low carb clafoutis recipe, cardamom was added, but you can use other spices like pumpkin pie spice, cardamom, nutmeg if you’d like. You can also omit the spices if you so choose.

Calling all Skeptics

Chances are, you may have never heard of a clafoutis. You’re wondering if it is worth trying.

Do you like cake? How about cake without the guilt or a blood-sugar rollercoaster? Do you like cake for breakfast?

Of course you do.

When I was making this recipe, I knew that I would want to be able to serve it to my friend who is dairy-free. This particular friend enjoys good food but is a bit particular. Serving him this low carb clafoutis came with the possibility of rejection. I wasn’t sure what his response would be. Not only did he ask for seconds, he asked for the recipe!

Simple Ingredients for this Keto Clafoutis Recipe

The ingredients in this low carb clafoutis are simple. The recipe has been customized to fit a ketogenic diet and a low carb lifestyle. It is also gluten-free, sugar-free, and dairy-free.

How to prepare the Low Carb Clafoutis

You’ll need a glass baking dish. A glass pie plate would work for this, I used a round casserole dish.

Take coconut oil and grease the dish, making sure to grease the edges as well. Then sprinkle a portion of the monkfruit sweetener on the greased dish. Rotate the dish to make sure that the sweetener lightly covers all of the greased area.

Place blueberries (or other berries) in the prepared dish.

Mix the batter according to the recipe instructions then pour it over the berries.

Bake the low carb clafoutis at 350°F for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
If you use frozen blueberries, add an additional 10-15 minutes to the baking time.

When you remove the clafoutis from the oven, it will deflate. That is normal!

Once the clafoutis has cooled some, you can sprinkle powdered sweetener on top.

If you are concerned about the carbs in blueberries, you could swap raspberries or blackberries for blueberries.

One cup of blueberries has about 18g net carbs.

One cup of raspberries has about 7g net carbs.

One cup of blackberries has about 6g net carbs.

    Clafoutis is a real favourite in our house but I usually make it with either plums or cherries, the idea of blueberries is ingenious… Definitely going on my must cook list.

    • Hey Brian! Thanks for stopping by 🙂 I’m all about using what I’ve got on hand and blueberries were it! Plus, switching things up is fun!

  • 5 stars
    As a big fan of French desserts I can’t believe that I’ve never tried this yummy blueberry delight. Thank you for inspiring me.

    • Hey Gabi! This is suuuuch an easy dessert, I’m bummed I didn’t know about it before this year either!!

  • It was all fun and games until I took the pans out of the oven, and the one with Cardamom in it slid OFF the sheet pan and shattered at my feet. Fortunately, on its way down, it left about a half cup on the other pan (with the clafouti that has cinnamon in it) so at least we could taste that one, too, lol….

    Now hubby is threatening to go buy some reduced sugar Blue Bell Ice cream to put on it because it is YUMMY!!! (Tried to mark the recipe 5 stars and it wouldn’t take it…. )

    • Oh Nancy!! I’m so sorry the pan fell!! 🙁 I hope you’re able to get a replacement quickly.
      Thanks for giving it a try and I’m glad you guys enjoyed it despite the kitchen catastrophe!

    • Hey Matt! Any of the above should work! The larger the pan, the thinner the clafoutis will be. I think the 8″ cast iron is similar in size to the dish used in this recipe 🙂

    I subbed cranberries and pumpkin pie spice for the blueberries and cardamom, added orange zest and a lil orange extract! I’ll have to try the blueberry cardamom combo too! This was delicious !
