15 Gorgeous Plant-Based Galette Recipes – GWC Mag

A galette is a French word used to describe flat, freeform, open pies or cakes. In some regions of France, instead of pastry, a type of buckwheat pancake is used instead.

Galettes are a fun dessert to make if you are feeling a little fancy, and you have a ton of extra fruit lying around on your countertops that need to be used.

One of the great things about galettes, as is the case with most pie-like dishes, is that they can be super versatile and can accommodate both sweet and savory fillings.

Another is that if you aren’t great at rolling pastry and lining pie tins with it, then galettes are the way forward. They are way more forgiving, and the more rustic-looking the better!

Here is a list of OGP galette recipes that are mostly sweet pies, but keep your eye out for the odd delicious savory one, too.
