Stone Fruit Mini Loafs

Over the summer, my family and I were supposed to go to California on an amazing vacation. Well, thanks to the global pandemic, our trip was cancelled. Instead, we decided to do a short local getaway to Niagara-on-the-lake.

While driving through the local streets, we saw many farm-stands selling fresh produce. We decided to stop and I purchased a mixed basket of stone fruit. That is how this dessert came to fruition.

Instead of making a large cake or pie or muffins, I decided on these mini loafs because they are the perfect mid-day snack. Give these a try, because these stone fruit mini loafs are worth gossiping about!
