6. Leave the stollen bites to cool on a wire rack.

Good to know

Stollen bites taste like quark stollen, but they're ready in 50 minutes and don't need time to mature. The little pieces make a nice gift. Five of them are a serving with over 20 g protein.

Swaps

Raisins → chopped soft dried apricots. Orange juice → apple juice. Low-fat quark → skyr. Spelt flour → plain flour.

Cooking tips

Use a plain whey protein without sweeteners, otherwise the dough tastes artificial. Brush the bites straight after baking, so the butter soaks in and the coating sticks.

Storage

Keeps for 1 week in a tin somewhere cool, or 2 months in the freezer.

Allergens

Contains gluten (spelt), almonds, milk (quark, butter, protein powder) and egg. Because of the honey, not suitable for children under 1 year old.
