It's safe to say this gluten free blueberry galette recipe is a new family favorite Summer dessert. It's super simple to make, utilizes fresh fruit, and tastes delicious. What could be better?
I first introduced you all to this recipe on Facebook Live a few months back. At the time, I didn't have a full recipe all typed out, only some chicken scratch on a sticky note of what I thought would work out, and it did! I took an old pie crust recipe I had and mixed it together with my shortbread cookie recipe, and it created the perfect buttery and flaky crust.
If you've never made a galette before, I'd suggest watching the video as it really helps to see how to fold the pastry over (it's quite simple really, I just think it's great to see it as I'm a visual learner). I also answer some questions about substitutions and how I store my ingredients. You can see the video at the bottom of this blog post for my gluten free blueberry galette!
If you're wondering if you can swap out the blueberries for another fruit, you can! I've tried it with peaches, apricots and blueberries, and I've seen others use nectarines, apples, and so much more. The filling opportunities are endless!
My favorite way to serve it is warm with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream on top. It's also great cold from the fridge for breakfast… with or without the ice cream 😉

can shortening or anything be used instead of the butter?
Carissa Murphy
Cold ghee?
Danielle
Cold shortening should work!
Kelly Sinclair
Looks incredible, thanks. I just have one tip, this is the first video of yours I’ve watched, would love for you to invest in a tripod for your camera person! I think it would make it easier to watch. Thanks for all of your incredible recipes!

I have been waiting for this recipe in written form! With 3 young kiddos, I could never find the time to actually sit down and watch the video tutorial. Thank you! Going to grab those blueberries while they are still on season!
Danielle
Sorry it took so long! 🙂

I never refrigerate my almond flour and it seems to be fine. But now I’m worried when you say that you only keep yours at room temperature for a few weeks. How do you tell if it’s bad?
Danielle
It will smell and taste rancid!
Lisa
Peach! It came out wonderfully. My husband loves the crust. Thank you…again!
Danielle
Looks amazing!
Courteny Evans
Can I use frozen blueberries for this recipe? I have a bunch in the freezer that i would like to use! 🙂
Danielle
Yep!
Danielle Turk-Bly
Here is mine. Not as pretty as yours! but you did get a huge shout out on my blog!!!!!
Danielle
Looks amazing!

Made the with apples (my peaches are not quite ripe and I had apples on hand), used some cinnamon and no lemon. I also used almond flour (in Canada, would never be able to find the cashew flour). After 45 minutes the apples were still quite crisp so I continued cooking (the crust looked fine)…I finally took it out after another 20 minutes, the apples were still crisp and I slightly over baked the crust….but it was still delicious! That crust is amazing……
Test run over, if I were to use apples again I would toss them in a frying pan for a bit to pre-soften. Peaches are next, my tree is loaded!
This recipe is a keeper…..such a good crust!
Thanks Danielle! I was once a great baker until my wheat allergy came about….and I miss creating stuff. This really helps.
Danielle
Thank you Lorain! I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
Cathy Thelen
Can I use Cassava flour instead of cashew flour?
Danielle
Unfortunately, I haven’t tried it out so I don’t know for sure but it could work!
Marianne Brørup Weston
Chickpea flour if allergic to nuts?
I LOVE that you point out this is a special treat, and still not part of a daily ‘healthy’ paleo (or other) diet.
Danielle
Yep! Sunflower seed flour is also a great sub for those who are nut-free.
Leah Shanahan Reed
Made it twice! A new family favorite, thank you for sharing. Made once with blueberries, and once with apples, blackberries, and blueberries. Yum!
Danielle
So glad you like it!
Danielle
Of course!
Danielle
So glad you liked it!

Had a problem with the crust, was very wet and did not get cooked in center. Not sure if I omitted arrowroot powder. Used blackberries in place of blueberries. Will try this again. I have pre-ordered your new book with Amazon looking forward to its release.. Thank you for all your great recipes and information.
SusanJ
I don’t normally post comments on blogs, but this recipe is so good and easy to make. I opted for using some fresh Colorado peaches tonight and even our gluten-eating guest loved the crust – he wants the recipe for his wife because he was sure she would like it, too! Danielle, I love your recipes – no really strange ingredients – and easy to make! I use your Meals Made Simple and Against All Grain cookbooks all the time. Thanks for sharing!
Yolanda Q Mordue
Yeah… a great recipe without Almond Flour. Can’t wait to try it!
Danielle
I hope you love it!
Kaitlin
I absolutely loved this recipe! It was so easy to make and all my guests loved it. I added roughly chopped macadamias to the outside of the crust after I put the egg wash on and it turned out great… I recommend everyone try it
Danielle
Great suggestion! So glad you liked it.
Alexandra Carullo
Made this over the weekend while my in-laws were in town and it turned out INCREDIBLE! My in-laws love there gluten containing foods and they couldn’t stop raving about this crust! Thank you for providing such great recipes that I know I can provide to my family and friends!
Danielle
Thank you Alexandra! So glad they all liked it 🙂
Alyssa Keeley
I follow SCD so I’m not allowed to eat tapioca or arrowroot. Any other substitution ideas? Would coconut flour work?
mrl27
Hi Danielle – do you have a non-sweet recommendation for substituting the maple syrup in the crust? I used the crust recipe to make a savory galette, which was quite tasty, but the crust was a little too sweet. I love this recipe for dessert – it’s always been a hit!!
Danielle
You could try to just leave it out and add a little water to help the dough to come together!
mrl27
Well that’s easy! I’ll give it a try : ) Thanks!
Joni Renee Zalk
This is amazing! Remember to get wild blueberries (from Maine preferably) as it pulls out the heavy metals from the body and breaks through the blood-brain barrier. Helps keep the brain in top working order during the detox.
Regular blueberries, though tasty, does not do that. Love this recipe.
Liliana Caputo
Hi Danielle! I’d like to try your recipes but for me in Italy it’s almost impossible to find arrowroot powder that you have in most of your recipes.what can I use instead of it?? Please help me!
Irena
Hi Danielle, excellent recipe! I am yet to find one of your recipes which is not excellent and easy to do. My better half, even though sometimes skeptical, reaps the benefits each time 🙂
I made this recipe with almond flour, did not quite know how to measure 5 tablespoons of cold stiff butter (so I did it approximately), the dough was really dry and crumbly so I added a bit of water to bind….it was all ok then. I guess it did not bind as well beacuse almonds are less fatty / more dry than cashews. Anyone had the same problem maybe?
All the rest went as demonstrated and the result was great.
Delicious!
Thank you!
PS waiting to receive Celebrations book next week, just in time to test before Easter 🙂
Briana
Would it be possible to sub palm shortening for butter in this recipe??
Danielle
Yes, palm shortening is a good sub for butter. Let me know how it turns out!
Starlightflores
What
Starlightflores
What type of Arrowroot powder do you use, please?
I’ve tried two different brands and I don’t like the taste.
Thank you for your time.
Danielle
Have you tried Bob’s red mill? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003K8Q04O/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B003K8Q04O&linkCode=as2&tag=agaallgra-20&linkId=DNJSEL7ZSALEUSLJ
Starlightflores
Thank you. I buy that product but never looked for arrow root.
Starlightflores
I bought some thank you
Angela Simpson
Made this about an hour ago and I’m a little ashamed that almost half is gone. And I’m home alone so….. there goes my whole 30 lol! This is delicious AND a lot of fun to make. Will be an annual summertime dessert for sure! Thanks for another wonderful recipe.
Megriek
Not sure why this only has 3 out of 5 stars….it deserves all FIVE stars for sure. I made this over the weekend, made the dough one day and actually let it chill overnight because of my schedule, then finished it up and baked it on Sunday evening. What a delicious and fairly easy treat to make! I used the finely ground blanched almond flour instead of cashew because of availability and it worked great. Super tasty with a scoop of Nada Moo vanilla ice cream. Will definitely be making this again…soon! QUESTION: could you make a double batch of the dough and freeze it for future use?
Danielle
Hi Megriek,
So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Yes the pie dough should freeze nicely to be used at a future date. Make sure it is wrapped tightly before going into the freezer and let it thaw for a few hours in the fridge before rolling the dough out as usual!
Cat Stuart
I made this and it was amazing! It wasn’t too sweet but I still wanted to eat the whole thing! It is easy to make but just takes a little time to finish because the dough has to be in the freezer. 5 stars for sure!
Danielle
So glad you enjoyed it Cat!
Nikki Gaffaney
This recipe is phenomenal, and I am not using that word lightly. My two year old now wakes up asking for “gawette” for breakfast instead of his usual homemade blueberry pancake request. I used cold shortening (dairy allergy) and almond flour (because I have it handy), and am in love ?. Working on two more as I type this, one cherry and one peach. I don’t know why the rating for this isn’t a solid 5 stars. Thank you yet again for your kitchen generosity Danielle! We are definitely huge fans.
Danielle
So glad you guys are enjoying it!
Cori Hall
Has anyone tried chilled coconut oil instead of the butter? I’m sensitive to palm shortening and dairy …
Linda
Finally baked a galette!

Finally baked a galette! Now to sit down with my coffee and taste this enticing treat,? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a86bd09c7e62f6bb23016a4a71e82239bb83bd90f4a01015c8c8fb516d3bf7c2.jpg

Looks great!
Cortney Hubbard
Has anyone tried this with pears? I have so many pears that were gifted to me and can’t eat them fast enough! Thinking of trying.
Janet
I just made this with figs and hazelnuts (I have more figs than I know what to do with right now) and it was delicious! I used the Miyokos dairy free cultured butter and it worked great. I will definitely be making this crust again in the future!
Petra
Making it now for years even with different fruits on top. Amazing recipe appreciated by everyone 🙂 Well done!
Laura Parce
I made this today with blueberries and peaches, it was delicious! I didn’t miss sugar or gluten. A wonderful recipe, that I know i can share with anyone.
Denise
this is absolutely delicious !! thank you for an amazing healthy recipe
Danielle
You’re so welcome!
Patricia
What can I use in place of coconut flour and sugar.
Danielle
Hi! You can use cassava or tapioca flour in place of the coconut and sub the coconut sugar with maple sugar.
