Blueberry Galette is a classic favorite treat that is easy to make and easily customizable.
Galette is basically a pastry dough wrapped around fresh fruits. They are originally a French dessert, which can be made without any tools and looks so beautiful and rustic.
You can add in any seasonal fruit that you get and it tastes absolutely delicious with the bursting flavors of that fruit. And blueberry is one such flavorful fruit that we will be using in this recipe.
This recipe is definitely much healthier than the usual one mainly in terms of the replacement of All purpose flour and refined sugar with Wholewheat flour and Coconut sugar. You must be knowing that All-purpose flour available in the market is so processed and refined that it doesn't contain any nutritional values. The same is the case with Refined sugar. Hence I always try to make sure that I use healthier alternatives in my recipe which also makes for a delicious dish.
Now speaking about blueberries, you may already know that they are high in pectin, a natural sugar form, super source of antioxidants, boosts Immunity, and regulates blood sugar. So eating them in this delicious form will only do good for your body.
This recipe requires minimal ingredients that you already have in your pantry. Nothing fancy and easily customizable with any fruit of your choice.
