This rustic Eggless Strawberry Honey Galette uses fresh strawberries and local honey for a light and sweet summer pie that is just as good on its own as it is with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

I love making galettes because they are the lazy girls pie. This egg free galette is just a pie without the pan! The beauty of galettes is there’s no pie pan, they can be more freeform and rustic, and the crust is always crispier than a pie!
This Strawberry Honey Galette has all the flavors of summer with fresh seasonal strawberries and raw honey. This galette without eggs uses my favorite pie wash, which is just equal parts honey and water. The honey ensures a golden brown pie crust every time and it gives the crust a sweetness I’m completely obsessed with!
This organic galette is basically just a strawberry pie, sans the pan. This organic galette is a more simple and easy way to make organic pie. I use fresh strawberries in the Strawberry Honey Galette, but frozen will work too! If using frozen just be sure to thaw in the fridge overnight and then drain off excess water before using. Check out my article Can You Make Pie with Frozen Fruit? for more in depth explanation.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Seasonal Ingredients: It’s strawberry season right now so this is a delicious dessert to make while strawberries are in season and flavorful! You can also use somewhat soft strawberries that are not ideal to eat, this type of fruit is great for pies and helps prevent food waste. If you love strawberry pie, you'll love this Eggless Strawberry Honey Galette!
- Eggless: I love this galette without eggs because I use my signature honey and water pie wash. This makes the crust super golden brown and it gives it a little sweetness that pairs so well with the crunch of the turbinado sugar and the sweet strawberries.
- Easy: I actually prefer to make an organic galette over pie because they are easier than pie and more rustic.
- Organic Galette: While you can buy strawberry pie at the grocery store this time of year, you will get a better tasting pie when you make it at home! Using organic ingredients will result in a tastier strawberry pie that also is better for you!
Ingredients
- Butter: I use organic salted butter in the pie crust, my favorite is Organic Valley.
- Cane Sugar: I use pure organic cane sugar, I used Wholesome in this recipe.
- All Purpose Flour: Organic all purpose flour is key for a flaky pie crust! I also use it in the filling to help thicken it. My favorite is Cairnspring Mills.
- Strawberries: You can use fresh or frozen organic strawberries. If you’re using frozen strawberries, you should defrost them in the fridge overnight and strain off the liquid before using.
- Raw Honey: I use organic raw honey inside the filling and in the pie wash. The honey inside the filling gives this a lighter taste and also allows me to use less cane sugar in this galette. The mixture of honey and water is what makes this galette without eggs so damn good!
- Cornstarch: I use organic cornstarch to help thicken the filling so juices don’t run out. If you don't want to use cornstarch, you can use tapioca, arrowroot or potato starch in its place.
- Cinnamon: This eggless galette is lightly spiced with a bit of cinnamon, my favorite is organic Korintje Cinnamon which has a distinct flavor. But, you can use any cinnamon you like.
- Turbinado Sugar: I use organic turbinado sugar to give the crust a little crunch. If you don't have this, you can leave it off too. But, don't use cane sugar here as it's not the same thing and will just melt into the crust in the oven, which is why the larger crystals of turbinado sugar are key if you want the pie crust to have that texture.
Tools Needed
- Scale: Always use a digital food scale for the best results.
- Stand Mixer: I use my stand mixer for ease as I prefer to make pie dough this way. But, you can also make it by hand.
- Mixing Bowl: You'll need a large mixing bowl to mix up the filing.
- Baking Sheet: You'll need a half sheet pan to bake this organic galette.
- Parchment Paper: I always use nontoxic parchment paper to ensure the galette doesn't stick to the baing pan.
- Rolling Pin: You'll need a rolling pin to roll out the pie dough.
- Pastry Brush: I use a silicone pastry brush to brush on the pie wash.

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
To make the crust: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the flour and cane sugar.
Remove butter from the fridge and chop into small cubes, the smaller your cubes are the flakier your crust. I recommend at least cutting the sticks of butter into 4 and then chop into small cubes from there. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Measure out cold water and have ready.
Turn mixer on low and slowly start to incorporate all the ingredients. Gradually turn mixer to medium speed. Once the butter mixture looks like wet sand, immediately add in all the water. As soon as the dough comes together, stop mixer.
Using your hands, form the dough into a disk and place in plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To make the filling: De-stem and slice strawberries and add to a large bowl. Add the cane sugar, honey, flour, cornstarch, and cinnamon and mix to combine completely. Set aside.
Step 3
To make the topping: In a small dish, add the honey and water. Microwave for about 5 to 10 seconds to melt the honey. Set aside.
Step 4
Remove the pie dough from the fridge. Remove the plastic wrap and place on a floured surface. Roll out the into a square that is ¼-inch thick, it should be about 10 inches diameter. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Transfer the filling to the dough and arrange in the center, leaving a 1 to 2-inch boarder. Fold the edges of the dough into the middle to cover the fruit and create a boarder.
Step 6
Using a pastry brush, brush the boarder of the dough with the honey mixture. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Step 7
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. (If you’re baking at high altitude be sure to check the Notes at the bottom of the recipe for high altitude baking instructions).
Easy Substitutions
- Feel free to swap the strawberries for any other berries such as raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
- You can use egg or milk on top of the pie dough in place of the honey and water if you prefer.
- If you’re using unsalted butter, just add ¼ teaspoon of fine sea salt to the dough.
Baker’s Tips
- Make sure your butter is cold for the pie crust. Visit my article All Butter Pie Crust for all the tips and tricks for flaky pie crust if you are new to baking.
- You can use fresh or frozen strawberries. If using frozen, be sure to thaw in the fridge overnight and then be sure to drain off all the excess liquid.
- Pies are great for using up bruised or soft fruit. So, if you have strawberries that are not quite as good, then use them for this galette!
- This makes a great dessert with vanilla ice cream.
FAQ’s
Yes, just add ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt to the recipe.
Yes, just be sure to store in a cool, dry place. Don’t put under a cake dome as it will become soggy.
You can place leftover pie pieces or the whole galette into an air fryer, toaster oven, or oven on a warm setting or at 350°F. Heat for about 5 to 10 minutes or until warm and crust is crisp. Never reheat pie in a microwave as it will make the crust soggy.
