Something came into my life recently and it’s called a galette. Have you heard of them?
Me either until like two months ago. I put “make a galette” on my summer bucket list but labor day came and went and it wasn’t checked off yet. So I went for it.
What is a galette? I like to think of it as a super laid back pie that is rustic, rough around the edges but charming and delightful.
Google tells me it can be various types of flat, round, freeform crusty cakes. “Crusty” isn’t the best, in my opinion but here we’ll say google meant “crusty” as in having a crust and thus we have a galette.
If you love baking, I have tons of inspiration on my 50+ Gluten Free Desserts roundup post! From chocolatey treats to berries, from cakes to cookies, that post really has everything you’re looking for!

- customizable! put whatever berries or fruit inside!
Ingredients for Berry Galette:
- butter

- mixed berries
- powdered sugar: I like to use this zero calorie powdered sugar, but if you’re up for it good ol’ regular powdered sugar is always welcome 🙂

Make it your own: Try peaches, apples, or another fresh cut fruit in the filling instead of berries! Once you get the basic recipe, the filling possibilities are endless 🥧
How to make a Berry Galette:
Make the crust. Add all softened butter, almond flour, arrowroot and salt to your bowl and fold them together.
Roll it out. Place a piece of parchment paper on your counter and dust it with arrowroot flour. Transfer the dough to the parchment paper and dust again. Roll it in an oval, about 1/4 inch thick. Continue to dust with arrowroot flour as needed.
Prep and add the berries. Add your berries in a bowl along with 1 tablespoon of the powdered sugar. Toss to coat the berries. Place the berries into the center of crust.
Fold the crust over. Use the parchment paper to fold the edges of the crust into the perimeter of the galette, leaving the the center berries open.
Brush the crust. Beat an egg in a small bowl and brush it onto the edges of the crust.
Bake it. Bake for 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
Enjoy! Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of powdered sugar and add a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream if desired!

What about the salt listed in the ingredients for the galette? No subsequent mention of it.
Hi Sue! I updated the recipe. The sea salt gets mixed up with the butter and almond flour. Sorry for any confusion 🙂 Let me know how you make out!! xo
I can’t believe that this galette is SO easy, because it looks crazy hard! The results look incredible, Lindsay!
Making this ASAP after my Whole30 is done! Wow! Might even top it with some cashew cream frosting… hmmm 🙂
I made a blackberry brie galette two weeks ago (the first one ever) and it was [almost] perfect. I made a almond flour crust (similar to yours), and i could’ve eaten the whole thing just for the crust. It was probably the butter! Ha! But I honestly wasn’t a huge fan of the brie part. Ive been meaning to make it again, but didn’t know if I should try something else instead of the brie, but yours looks so stinkin good without anything but berries (and ice cream of course). I’ll have to give it a whirl!
Ah maybe you would like the galette more than the baked brie. Are you typically a big brie fan? I wonder if you could experiment with different cheeses that you may like better. Let me know if you end up making it again or if you go for the galette, I’d love to hear!! xo
