 These easy sweet German Poppy Seed Buns with a homemade poppy seed filling, marzipan & tart prune plums are an autumnal twist on a German Breakfast Classic and one of my favourite morning buns of all times! Picture soft,  pillowy yeasted buns filled with a moist poppy seed and marzipan cream and juicy pieces of plums. <\/em><\/p>\n

These sweet German Poppy Seed Brioche Buns are what I crave whenever I get homesick. Back in Germany, I lived in a little town between the Austrian and German border and only a couple of kilometres away from the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n

Three Poppy Seed Loving countries!<\/p>\n

And somehow this love of poppy seeds seemed to have culminated in my little kitchen! I bake with poppy seeds ALL THE TIME. There’s really nothing I love more than a piece on poppy seed cake, a slice of a poppy roll, or soft, pillowy yeasted buns with a spiked marzipan and poppy seed filling!<\/p>\n

These German Poppy Seed Buns with Marzipan and Prune Plums are the perfect sweet comfort food!<\/h2>\n

There’s something so incredibly comforting about the nutty taste of ground poppy seeds mixed with some butter, rum and sugar.<\/p>\n

In Germany, you can buy ready-made poppy seed filling but here in Canada you hardly ever see it so I started to make it from scratch.<\/p>\n

I know that this amount of poppy seed might seem scary to anyone who didn’t grow up those poppy countries but trust me, these Plum, Marzipan and Poppy Seed Swirls will convert you!<\/p>\n

The secret the the yuminess is undoubtedly the homemade poppy seed filling!<\/p>\n

Here’s how I make my Poppy Seed Filling from Scratch: <\/strong><\/h3>\n

For making Poppy Seed Filling, I came up with a method that requires minimal effort – you don’t even need to turn on the stove! I simply grind my poppy seeds and add some melted butter, eggs, a pinch of cinnamon and a couple of tablespoons of rum.<\/p>\n

You can skip the rum but trust me, once you’ve tried the boozy version once you’ll never want to go back!<\/p>\n

\"soft<\/p>\n

To make the poppy seed filling ever moister, richer and nuttier, we add some marzipan. Marzipan makes everything better and should really not be a Christmas-only thing.<\/p>\n

And I don’t know about you, but poppy seeds and marzipan just scream for a little fruity addition to cut through the sweetness- and there’s nothing more apt for this job than the sweet & sour prune plums!<\/p>\n

Plums, Poppy Seeds and Marzipan are a really popular combination in Eastern Europe! Once you’ve tried these Plum, Marzipan & Poppy Seed Swirls, you’ll understand why!<\/p>\n

If prune plums are not available or not in season you could also use regular plums, cherries, apples or apricots.<\/p>\n

How to make German Plum, Marzipan and Poppy Seed Rolls:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For the dough, I use my favourite recipe for yeasted buns. It makes for the softest, most pillowy buns you’ll ever try!<\/p>\n

I like to prepare the dough in the evening and let it rest in the fridge overnight – et voil\u00e1: Poppy Seed Buns for Breakfast!<\/p>\n

The topping on these Plum, Marzipan & Poppy Seed Buns is a simple glaze made of powdered sugar, milk or cream and some rum. Feel free to skip the rum and add some almond extract instead!<\/p>\n

No fresh plums? Use jam!<\/h2>\n

For when fresh plums are not in season, you can make this recipe using plum jam or plum butter! You can find those jams in your grocery store often in the Eastern European section. Bonne Mamman has a good one. <\/p>\n
