If it isn’t chocolate its berries. So many berries so little time! Have you ever made a galette before?? Yeah me neither since this precious little galette i made recently and it tastes pretty incredible. Gluten free pastry crust which hugs a fresh mixed berry filling inside. Baked to perfection then served with fresh cream. For an added bonus, i suggest topping it off with some of my homemade vegan coconut mint ice-cream!

  1. Besides nut flours what could be used? We have a nut allergy in the family & wouldn’t want that deliciousness to kill them.
    Thanks!

    1. Hi Jennifer! I haven’t tried this recipe with any other kind of flour but i suggest trying sunflower meal (if you can source it, try your local health food store) or you can sub it with all purpose flour. You may just have to play around with the liquid ratios until you achieve a light, soft pliable dough. Hope this helps, let me know how you go! xx
