Today I have a little list of 11 of my Dutch baking favorites. I think I have mentioned before that my mom hated cooking, so every time we had a birthday coming up I was tasked with baking my famous Dutch apple pie and make a so called ‘kwarktaart’. (not online yet) I’m not really a fantastic baker, but I do love to create delicious treats every once in a while.
Dutch Baking Favorites
So I figured it was time I shared my all time Dutch favorites. It also includes a recipe for oliebollen, which is the thing to bake around New Years! At least it is in the Netherlands! Most of these recipes are easy to make, although some – like Dutch sugar bread – take a bit more time to make.
Dutch Sugar Bread (Suikerbrood)
Soft, fluffy Dutch sugar bread filled with crunchy pearl sugar and warm spices. Delicious on its own, but even better slightly warm with a generous spread of butter.
Dutch Butter Cake with Dulce de Leche (Boterkoek)
If you've never tried baking a Dutch butter cake I highly suggest you try this variation on the classic recipe. This chocolate butter cake is every bit worth making. With creamy dulce de leche and added chocolate bits it's just insanely delicious. Try for yourself!

When the Sinterklaas season arrives in the Netherlands, there’s one treat that instantly fills every kitchen with that cozy holiday aroma: pepernoten. Or, to be a little more accurate, kruidnoten! These tiny, crunchy spiced cookies are made with warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Completely irresistible!The best part? They’re incredibly easy to make. With just a handful of simple ingredients, you can have a tray of freshly baked pepernoten ready in under 30 minutes. And because they’re so quick and fun to bake, this is also a great recipe to make with kids.

Traditional Dutch Poffertjes (Mini Pancakes)
Growing up with poffertjes was fun every time we went to get some from the famous Dutch poffertjeskraam close to our hometown. Thankfully making Dutch poffertjes at home is really easy although it does help to have a poffertjespan!
