@Vince_UK - it's a plant root extract that is recommended on body building etc sites presumably for people not eating enough fibre for 'regularity' but which adds hardly any carb to the party.

I shouldn't think a lot of T2s on Metfartin would need its help!

Thanks for the info TW but I really don't see the necessity for your sarcastic comment at the end. Just for your information I manage my T2 through diet and exercise as indeed may others do.

Oh, a split decision.
Is it a love it or leave it situation?

It's not a very sweet recipe, though that maybe due to using Inulin as a sweetener rather than Xylitol or Stevia. I still found it sweet enough.

Can't wait to try iy lol :D
 
Sorry that Vince - or anyone else - thought I was being sarcastic - but there's quite a bit of fibred in berries eg raspberries and blackberries already, thought I, without needing to add more, for anyone? That's all.

Had to look up what clafoutis is. 🙄 It sounds like some condition you might get that requires cream from the doctors. :D

I should've looked it up before I made it. Would've known then to use a pie dish rather than a bowl.🙄
 
I want to try this but I don't have Inulin, can I use Total Sweet Xylitol an an alternative? I have about 1 kg of this lol.
 
Another question, ok I know perhaps a stupid one, a pie dish is quite shallow right ? I have Pyrex dishes which I guess will be to deep.

Inulin adds bulk as well as sweetening a dish Vince...it has a lot of fibre in it...if you were using sugar you could substitute a teaspoon of sugar with a teaspoon of inulin...since xylitol is equivalent to sugar...I would say yes you can use that as a sweetener...without changing the quantities...however you could try with 80% of the recommended quantity...taste the mixture...see how sweet it is...good luck.

I wouldn't say a pie dish is that shallow Vince...you need a level base to make sure it cooks properly...Mark used a bowl that's why his wasn't evenly baked...as long as it a flat bottomed dish & not massive you should be fine...exactly what size are you dishes Vince?:D
 
Never been used lol
