How To Make Keto Blueberry Galette
If you’re familiar with the famous fat-head dough recipe, you’ll know that it uses melted mozzarella cheese to mimic the gluten that is missing in keto-friendly flours.
Using that knowledge, we played around in the kitchen and came up with our adaptation of the popular fat-head dough.
The gluten-free dough comes together easily by mixing the almond and coconut flour, melted butter, eggs, and melted mozzarella cheese.
Then you’ll simply knead the dough (I like to sandwich the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper to avoid any sticking) well to incorporate all the ingredients.
Once the dough is well combined, you’ll wrap it in parchment or cling wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
This step is crucial to the success of this keto crust and is closer to how traditional pie crust is made.
Keto Blueberry Pie Filling
While the dough is chilling, you can quickly mix up your filling. In a small bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, lemon juice, sugar substitute, and xanthan gum.
The addition of a tiny amount of xanthan gum is also crucial to the success of this low-carb blueberry galette.
Xanthan gum is a thickener that helps take the juice from the blueberries from runny to a nice thick jam-like texture. This gives you the classic berry pie filling without the use of cornstarch!
After the dough is wrapped in plastic wrap and chilled, then it can be rolled easily between two sheets of parchment paper into an 8” circle.
Then you’ll just add the blueberry mixture into the center and fold the edges up and over forming a crust.
The dough is very forgiving in that it’s easy to fix any cracks or holes in your galette. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 30 to 40 minutes or until the galette crust is golden brown,
When the crust is golden, and the juicy blueberries have burst, the galette is ready.
You may find your crust browning before the blueberries are ready; you avoid your crust burning by covering it with aluminum foil once it’s ready.
This delicious galette should be stored in your refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days.

Best Sugar Substitutes For Sugar-Free Blueberry Galette
As far as choosing your sweetener to make your low-carb blueberry galette, my top choice is a monk fruit/erythritol blend. My personal favorite is Lakanto’s brand. But you can also use Swerve an erythritol sugar substitute.
You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure for most of my baked goods.
However, if using Pyure, you will want to use half the amount called for in this recipe since it’s a much sweeter choice.
Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda for baking or a generic brand of the same. It will work with great success.
I know not everyone would agree with me here, and I respect that, but in my book, it’s still better than regular sugar.

Keto Blueberry Galette
This recipe for keto blueberry galette is a deliciously easy way to enjoy a fruit dessert while on a low-carb keto diet. You can have all the flavor minus the high carbs of traditional galettes and it's also gluten-free!
Ingredients
Keto Crust:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup pre-shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup of finely milled almond flour
- 1/4 cup of coconut flour
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar substitute
Sugar-Free Blueberry Filling:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar substitute
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl combine the coconut flour and the almond flour, sugar substitute, and salt.
- Melt the unsalted butter and set aside.
- To the dry ingredients add the melted butter and combine quickly.
- Next, add the whole egg and combine.
- Melt the mozzarella cheese in the microwave for a total of 90 seconds stirring halfway through. Once it comes out of the microwave mix well until fully incorporated. You can also melt the mozzarella cheese in a double boiler.
- Add the melted mozzarella cheese to the mixture and knead the dough with your hands until all the cheese is blended well into the dough. I recommend you do so between two sheets of parchment paper so that the dough doesn't stick to your hands.
- Wrap the dough in parchment paper and place in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill.
- While the dough chills, prepare your filling by combining the blueberries, sugar substitute, xanthan gum, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Once the dough has chilled, roll out into a large circle about 8" in diameter. In the center of the dough, leaving a 3" border add your blueberry filling.
- Fold the edges of the dough up and over the blueberries, pleating as needed. The dough is very forgiving and can be pressed together if any "cracks" occur.
- Once folded, gently cup the sides with both your hands to reinforce the shape of your keto blueberry galette and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the blueberries "juice" and begin to burst. Garnish with lemon zest and serve with low-carb vanilla ice cream or on it's own.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
Note that for best results we recommend you use only packaged pre-shredded mozzarella cheese. Shredding the cheese yourself could cause oil to seep out during the baking process.
If the crust begins to brown before the blueberries are ready you can cover the crust with aluminum foil while the blueberries continue to bake.

A lot of oil baked out. I used 8 oz mozzarella. Should I have grated it and then measured 1 cup? It tastes good. I divided dough and made 3

Hi Kim, I recommend using pre-shredded mozzarella cheese. I believe this is why a lot of oil baked out for you. I will clarify that in the instructions. Hope you will try it again.
