Crunchy Healthy Seeded Almond Galette

A Crunchy, Nutty Galette That Still Feels Indulgent 😍

This Crunchy Healthy Seeded Almond Galette takes the classic French galette format and gives it a nourishing twist—think buttery puff pastry brioche, a rich almond–seed cream, and a beautifully crunchy toasted seed topping. It’s hearty, flavour-packed and surprisingly wholesome without losing that bakery-style decadence ✨.

If you love desserts with texture, this is one of those bakes where every bite gives you crisp pastry, nutty warmth and a soft, aromatic centre. It’s perfect for weekend baking, sharing with friends, or preparing ahead for gatherings.

Why This Galette Works So Well 💡

This recipe builds flavour layer by layer:

• Toasted seeds (flax, pumpkin, sesame, pine nuts, chia!) bring fragrance and natural nuttiness.
• Almond-based cream adds moisture and richness without heaviness.
• Puff pastry brioche dough makes the bake feel elevated and luxurious.
• A final layer of sugar and seeds caramelises into a crisp, crunchy base.

Despite using wholesome ingredients, the texture stays indulgent and pastry-shop worthy.

The Perfect Make-Ahead Tart ✔️

The dough, seed paste and seed cream can all be prepared in advance. Chilling the assembled galette before baking helps the pastry rise beautifully, and baked slices reheat wonderfully in a low oven—ideal for serving warm at brunch, potlucks or cosy dinners.

Tips for the Best Crunchy Seeded Galette 🌾

• Toast your seeds until fragrant—this step is key for depth of flavour.
• Pipe the cream cleanly, leaving space around the edges so the pastry rises evenly.
• Use good butter—high-fat dry butter makes lamination easier and gives a crisp, flaky finish.
• Invert after baking for a caramelised, glossy seed-crunch top.

Serving Ideas 🍽️

Pair this galette with:

• A spoon of Greek yogurt for contrast
• Lightly sweetened whipped cream
• A drizzle of honey or maple syrup
• Fresh berries for brightness

It’s substantial enough to serve as a standalone dessert or alongside a spread of fruit-forward pastries.

A Galette That’s Good for Sharing 🤎

With its crisp edges and nutty centre, this galette slices neatly and holds its structure—excellent for group gatherings or gifting. It’s one of those bakes that feels both rustic and refined, bringing wholesome ingredients into a pastry that still feels like a treat.

Enjoy every nutty, crunchy bite! 🥧✨
