If you’ve been wanting to make my pop tarts but are too lazy, this one’s for you: Vegan Gluten Free Jammy Strawberry Galette. Looks fancy, sounds fancy, but SO easy to make. Kinda like a pie, kinda like a pop tart, but easier, NO mess, and just as yum.
For this recipe, I adapted my pop tart dough to make the perfect crust, then filled it with a little bit of chia jam and plenty of fresh strawberries. The perfect summer recipe!
