Simple and rustic, galettes are the perfect dessert when you’re craving pie but don’t want to put all the effort in. This paleo strawberry almond galette will satisfy any sweet tooth in a healthy way!

I briefly mentioned the strawberry picking adventure I went on last week when I was talking about these gluten free chocolate biscuits on Friday but let’s revisit that.

I got an email from the farm I did a CSA with a couple years ago letting us know the strawberry fields were bursting with fresh fruit and ready for picking. I deleted it and went on with my day thinking, that’s great but I can also just buy them in the store, they taste great since it’s actually strawberry season and the convenience factor is about tenfold better.

Then it somehow got brought back up in a conversation with Brandy and next thing I know, we’re making plans to pick berries on one of the hottest days of the year at a time in the morning when I’m usually still on the couch in my pajamas procrastinating the real start to my day.

We arrive, make the trek out there (they moved the field to pretty much the furthest possible location from the parking lot), spend 30 minutes in the heat seeking out the perfect red berries trying to not be annoyed by the 15 families who thought it’d be a great idea to take the kids strawberry picking not realizing they’d be there for an hour listening to their toddler say “mommy/daddy- is THIS a good one???” on repeat as they hold up the greenest of green strawberries they can find (it was one of those “yep, SO glad I don’t have kids” gut check moments) and then head back into the store to pay.

Except guess what was inside the store?

Strawberries.

That cost THE SAME EXACT AMOUNT as the ones we just spent 30 minutes and half a gallon of sweat picking.

I tried to keep the crazy inside but expletives wanted to leave my mouth. Like real bad.

So home we went with 2 containers filled to the brim with strawberries.

They sat on the counter for not even 2 days when I realized they were starting to mold. $6.50/pound and these little bitches wanted to mold on me in not even 48 hours.

That’s when operation paleo strawberry almond galette began and while I’m annoyed at the entire set of circumstances leading up to the event, the outcome is pretty baller.

I’m joining up with some other pretty amazing blogging ladies today to bring you guys 5 healthy summer berry dessert ideas including my paleo strawberry almond galette.

Last but not least, my paleo strawberry almond galette.

I hate using the word delicious but really this was like a 10 on the deliciousness scale.

The grain free crust held together so well, had the perfect flakiness to it without being too flaky (ain’t nothing worse than an over flaky pie crust).

The strawberry filling is perfectly sweet since the berries pretty much roast while the crust bakes and the hint of almond flavor with each bite makes this one of my all time favorite desserts.

ps- love roasted strawberries? Try this roasted strawberry milkshake. Omg.

To the point where I’d almost consider going through the whole picking process again, annoying toddlers and all for another one.

Almost.

I know we’re past it but this would also make a really great Valentine’s Day dessert! And if you want another sweet galette option – try these mini tart cherry galettes!
