Incredibly easy and grain free mini strawberry galettes. A healthy and simple summer treat made using only gluten free and dairy free ingredients. These mini fruit pies stuffed with juicy local strawberries, wrapped up in a flaky buttery crust and finished with a drizzle of honey.
What do you do when two pounds of strawberries are on sale at your local grocery store for $3.99? You buy ten pounds, make mini strawberry galettes and freeze the rest to use for future recipes. I hope you caught that foreshadowing I did there.
I can’t believe we are creeping into July’s double digits. It feels like just yesterday was Christmas and to make matters worse, Michael’s craft store has already put out their Fall decorations and I want to cry. I haven’t done one “summery” thing this year. It’s crazy how quickly you can get caught up in a work routine and before you know it, it’s July 8th, the summer is half over and you still haven’t put on a bikini time! I did manage to drive by the beach yesterday coming home from a photo shoot–does that count?
Enough about my boring summer and more about these juicy, gluten-free, strawberry galettes. If you are an incredibly simple baker and by simple I mean lazy, these galettes are for you!
Galettes are essentially pies for the simple folk. The best part about them? The more you mess them up, the more rustic they start to look. Basically, this is a fool proof recipe that tastes just as good as a well constructed pie.
Here are a few other of my favorite lazy pies…I mean galettes.
