Feather light, moist Mini Mixed Berry Loaves are made with Orange Juice instead of milk and perfect to serve at breakfast, lunch or as an anytime sweet treat
Don’t you just love small individual sweet treats ? I like any dessert or snack small and these mini mixed Berry Loaves fit the bill perfectly.
You could really serve these darling little loaves anytime of the day, breakfast, later at a brunch, for lunch or for dessert.
Oh, and do not forget the 11 am or 4 pm tea time !
These Berry loaves are so moist and feather light even though they are packed with mixed Berries, of which you can use whatever you prefer.
And it also does not mean it absolutely has to be a mix of Berries, one type will do just fine.
But it is so much more fun, and flavorful if you can use different Berries. No milk is added to the batter, but Orange juice instead.
The combination of Almonds, Icing Sugar (instead of a heavier Sugar) and only Egg Whites are the big secret in this recipe. All light and airy.
I started off by drizzling the baked loaves with the Icing drizzle, but found I had made way too much, and as usual, I hate to put anything to waste.
As you can see, I decided to not only drizzle the Icing over. But instead cover all of the tops, which actually made the Loaves a lot more delicious and appealing.
