Mini Panettone small panettones to make during the Christmas Holidays, soft and delicious because they’re filled with chocolate chips, but if you don’t like them, you can replace them with raisins and candied fruit.

The recipe mimics the mythical muffins and is very simple, without yeast, which is why they are made in just a few minutes. They can also be used as placeholders on Christmas day rather than as a snack or eaten at breakfast. Don’t forget to follow me on my pages Instagram and Facebook I’m waiting for you!
