I’ll start this post with a disclaimer:  Clafoutis is not meant to be a breakfast food.  That being said, I may or may not have been really hungry this morning, and kinda getting bored with my usual breakfast of protein bar and/or green smoothie, and, well, I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination…

If you aren’t familiar with clafoutis, I’d like to introduce you to your new best friend.  It is a French dessert (don’t be scared it’s super easy), usually made with cherries, (which makes it perfect for summer!) but easily adapted with just about any kind of fruit.  It comes together in minutes with just a few ingredients, and it’s kinda like a puffy custard or maybe you’d say a creamy pancake.

I absolutely adore cherries and I’ve made clafoutis with them before, but today I just didn’t feel like wrestling with the pits.  However, the decision has now officially been finalized; I will be purchasing one of these babies:

OXO Cherry & Olive Pitter

Clafoutis = klah-foo-TEE.  In case you were wondering about that.
