Preparation:

Preparing the gluten-free blueberry tart is quick and easy! First, knead the ingredients for the gluten-free shortcrust pastry and the crumble. While they chill in the freezer, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, bake everything for 30 – 45 minutes, and you’re done! 😊

1. Gluten-Free Shortcrust Pastry

  1. Knead the ingredients for the shortcrust pastry by hand (200 g of flour, 100 g of butter, egg, salt, and erythritol – about 1/2 – 3/4 cup, or less depending on your preference)
  2. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 15-30 minutes.

2. Crumble

  1. Knead the ingredients for the crumble by hand (100 g of flour, 80 g of butter, oat flakes, and 1/2 cup of erythritol).
  2. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 15-30 minutes.

3. Gluten-Free Blueberry Tart

  1. Lightly grease a tart pan using a small amount of olive oil or canola oil.
  2. Remove the chilled, gluten-free shortcrust pastry from the freezer and press it into the greased tart pan. The dough may be quite firm and may require some pressing.
  3. Sprinkle the dough with frozen or fresh blueberries.
  4. Take the crumble out of the freezer, crumble it by hand, and sprinkle it over the tart with the fruit.
  5. Bake the tart at 180 degrees Celsius for 30-45 minutes, until the edges of the crust are slightly golden.
  6. The tart is ready immediately after baking! Just let it cool and cut it into 8 equal pieces. Enjoy! 😍
