Ingredients
- 285 g self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice ( or pumpkin spice for the US audience)
- 100 g light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 90 ml melted butter + one tablespoon of melted butter for brushing the muffins
- 250 ml buttermilk
- ½ cup mixed dried fruit
- ½ cup mixed peel
- ½ cup marzipan, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoon icing sugar ( confectioners' sugar)
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- ½ cup flaked almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius ( 375 Fahrenheit, 170 fan oven).
- In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, add the sugar, baking powder and spices and mix well to combine.
- Add the dried fruit, mixed peel, marpizan and flaked almonds, and mix again.
- In a jug, beat the eggs well, add the melted butter, almond extract and buttermilk and mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and use a spatula to combine them into a batter.
- Grease and flour a muffin tin, divide the batter evenly, and bake for 20 minutes until golden and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Brush the baked muffins with the reserved melted butter, and allow them to cool down.
- Dust them with icing sugar.

Notes
- Make sure to store the muffins in an air tight container once they cool down completely, so they can keep moist and light for longer - we had ours around for 4 days, and they were still delicious!
- Preheating the oven is crucial, as the muffins go in, so they can that dome-shaped top we need. I prefer greasing the muffin tin with butter and dusting with flour rather than using muffin cases which tend to stick to the muffins.
