This Christmassy stollen muffin recipe is packed with dried fruit spiced with cinnamon, fresh lemon zest to keep things bright, and pieces of melting marzipan – just like a traditional stollen loaf, without all the faff. Scatter with icing sugar for a final festive flourish. These muffins can be stored in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Defrost and dust with plenty of icing sugar before serving.
