1 cup clean dandelion petals loosely packed
2 cups flour
2 tsps. baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 egg
1 1/4 cups milk
3 Tbsps. vegetable oil
1/2 cup honey/maple syrup
- Harvest fresh dandelion flowers and remove the yellow petals, avoiding too much of the green part. Rinse and dry the petals if needed.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and dandelion petals until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and honey until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined. Don’t overmix to keep the bread tender.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake until golden and a toothpick comes out clean (about 25–35 minutes). Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temperature for the best honey and floral flavor.
- Notes
- Only use dandelions from untreated areas (no pesticides or herbicides).
- The petals add color and light floral notes but are not overpowering.
- For extra texture, you can add chopped nuts or shredded coconut.
- This bread stores well in the fridge for 3–4 days or can be frozen.
