I love cornmeal in baked goods. Cornbread is the obvious go-to, and I do love that. But incorporating cornmeal into other baking is a great idea too. The texture, flavor, and yellow color it adds to baked treats are all delicious. The raspberry and lemon in these combined with the cornmeal are going to make you want to bake these again and again.
I used a mini-loaf pan here because they are so darn adorable, but you could also use a regular-sized loaf pan or a muffin tin and just adjust your cooking time. I would recommend using non-stick cooking spray and parchment paper for easy removal if you’re going to use a regular-sized loaf pan.
Or you can go get yourself a mini-loaf pan! These would make great gifts or would be fun for perfectly portioned breakfasts if you’re hosting guests. Yes and yes.
I mean, come on. Look at that adorable little lemon cornmeal loaf that’s also bursting with raspberries. Does that make it a win-win-win? I think it does.
