Galettes are a rustic pie/ tart (pastry dough wrapped over a filling), that can be made sweet or savoury. They're a crowd pleaser for sure, and can be served as a meal, snack or tea- time hors d'oeuvres.
Here I've made a beautiful, rustic, banana and blueberry galette for a sweet treat. If you're looking for a quick dessert, this galette is perfect for you. It's super comforting, delicious and easy-to-make.
The golden brown crust has the perfect crunch, and pairs deliciously with the gooey, sweet berry filling. Serve this galette with a scoop of vegan ice cream and you've got a winning dessert. You can also customize this recipe with using your favourite berries or fruits.
