Banana Clafouti

Banana Clafouti

Clafoutis is a popular baked French dessert of fruit. Traditionally a Clafoutis is made with cherries, but it can be made with any fruit you wish.

To finish off the seemingly endless supply of over ripe bananas, I made this banana clafoutis a couple of weeks ago and it was delicious.

This dessert is so easy and simple to make and will be perfect for breakfast or dessert. I usually have ripe bananas lying around, and I hate to waste them. I know I can save it for banana bread later, but I love having a few good banana recipes from which to choose.

Enjoy !
