What makes this Dutch Baby vegan and gluten-free?

This recipe uses oat flour for a gluten-free base and silken firm tofu as an egg and dairy substitute, creating a fluffy, plant-based batter.

Can I use a different type of plant-based milk?

The recipe specifies almond milk, but other plant-based milks like soy or oat milk could likely be substituted, though the texture might vary slightly.

How do I ensure the apples are not mushy after baking?

Saute the apples with citrus juice and cinnamon for only 5-7 minutes until softened, but not overly tender, before baking to maintain some texture.

What if my batter isn't sweet enough before baking?

Taste the batter before baking and add a little more maple syrup or date paste if desired, keeping in mind the sauteed apples will also add sweetness.

How should I serve this Apple Dutch Baby?

Serve warm, sprinkled with extra cinnamon, and optionally with additional maple syrup, applesauce, or more sauteed apples for extra flavor.

How to Prepare Apple Dutch Baby [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Toss apples with citrus juice (lemon or orange) and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
Add apples to pan and add 1 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup. Sauté until softened, but not mushy, about 5-7 minutes.
Mix dry ingredients together and blend along with remaining ingredients in a blender.
Taste the batter and see if it has enough sweetness for you. If it doesn't, add a little more maple syrup or date paste (don't go crazy, as the apples will add sweetness too).
Spray a pie pan with cooking spray, and place cooked apples onto the bottom. Pour batter onto apples
Bake at 425°F for 30 minutes, or until knife inserted comes out clean.
Sprinkle with additional cinnamon, and serve with maple syrup, additional cinnamon, apple sauce, or extra sautéed apples.

Notes

*Could use date paste to replace maple syrup.
