Total Time: 55 mins
Cuisine: French
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cold butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine blueberries, 2 tablespoons of sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Gently mix and let sit to macerate while preparing the crust.
- In another bowl, mix almond flour, all-purpose flour, remaining sugar, rolled oats, and salt.
- Cut cold butter into small cubes and work it into the flour mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Roll out the crumb mixture on a lightly floured surface into a rough 10-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Transfer the dough carefully to the prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon the macerated blueberries into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Gently fold the edges of the dough over the blueberries, creating a rustic, pleated look.
- Brush the exposed dough edges with an egg wash or milk for a golden finish (optional).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally garnished with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips
- Keep your butter cold: The secret to a flaky, tender crust is using ice-cold butter and handling the dough minimally.
- Don't fear imperfection: A galette is meant to look rustic, so don't stress about creating a perfect circle or even pleats.
- Let it macerate: Allowing the blueberries to sit with sugar helps release their juices and intensifies their flavor.
- Protect your baking sheet: Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Serve with flair: A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream can elevate this dessert from great to absolutely spectacular!
