Macadamia Mango Galettes

Once again, my friend's original oatmeal galette recipe saved the day. Why rack my brain and research a new recipe?  Summertime and the living is easy!  So I started to think of ways to adapt my old stand-by to reflect a more tropical flavor. To be honest, my favorite summer juice (mango-orange) became my inspiration and got the ball rolling. Nothing screams the tropics like mango, coconut and macadamia nuts. Why not be a bit more decadent and throw in some luscious white chocolate chips?


I hope you give this slightly sweeter version a try or simply check out my cranberry orange oatmeal cookies in the older recipe posts. *I doubled the recipe to make about 36 galettes.
