Dutch Honey Bread Recipe

Say it with me: Ontbijtkoek! Can’t pronounce it either? Well, don’t worry – let’s still make this traditional Dutch Honey Breakfast Cake! It’s so easy to whip up at home, one of my all-time favorites!

I have a few Dutch friends, and because one of them is a chef I’ve been treated to many specialties. The Ontbijtkoek is definitely by far my favorite of them all. And the Stroopwaffels…. But they’re a little harder to make at home, so I’m sticking to my honey cake.

As you can see from the photos, this cake is dark and rich with lots of spices and hearty rye flour. If you happen to have an egg allergy, this is a naturally egg-free recipe! And also a bread you can bake without yeast, in case you happen to be out.

Ontbijtkoek: Dutch Honey Breakfast Cake

Just a final word of advice: Better have the ingredients on hand to make a second loaf straight away. This one vanishes FAST! It’s most definitely a treat any day of the year, but especially so during the holiday season.
