Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?
Technically yes, but the texture turns mushy and the honey‑lemon balance gets thrown off. Fresh ripe peaches give that snap and juiciness that makes the galette sing. Frozen and thawed work if you pat them dry and reduce the cornstarch.
Is the turbinado sugar necessary?
Nope. It adds a tiny crunch, but you can skip it—the crust will still be golden. If you do use it, that’s about 10 extra calories for the whole galette. Your call.
How is this really under 210 calories per slice?
It’s the math of the crust: only 4 tbsp butter for 8 slices. No heavy cream, no piles of sugar. The honey is minimal and the fruit is mostly water. Trust the numbers—weigh your ingredients if you’re skeptical.
Can I make this gluten-free?
Swap in a 1‑to‑1 gluten‑free flour blend. The crust will be a bit more tender, but still flaky. Add an extra tablespoon of ice water if the dough feels dry.
Conclusion
One slice under 210 calories? That’s just math. The real win is the feeling: light, bright, and ready to roll. No drowsiness, no regret—just pure peach happiness. Make it today. Then go crush the rest of your day. And if you’re still hungry for more summer lightness, this Watermelon Mint Salad under 90 calories each is your next move. Go get ’em.
