Raspberry Lemon Little Loaves

Raspberry Lemon Little Loaves with lemon zest, egg whites and ground almonds are delicious quick breads, small sized with fresh raspberries to enjoy with your favourite drink.
You need a baking pan with four little loaves shapes, each of one cup volume to make these addictive lemon raspberry breads. Their size makes them great to serve for afternoon snack or breakfast. My pan is of six mini loaves, so I used cooking spray for four, filled them and baked for 16 minutes. Two loaf shapes remained empty while baking.
If you decide to bake one raspberry lemon loaf in one large loaf pan, please adjust baking time. This bread is ready when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
There is no fresh lemon juice and baking soda in them. Egg whites and butter are the only wet ingredients.Β If you carefully plan your cooking, I guess you have four egg whites frozen since you made something using yolks only so this is the best possible way to use them. Except Pavlova, of course!
Raspberry lemon loaves are moist and tender, and it is very easy to cut the slices to serve.
There is one great trick to prevent small fruits to sink to the bottom of the baking dish: if you want to make them attractive when cutting, just gently roll / combine fresh raspberries with flour before you add them into the batter. Make sure they are dry before you combine them:
