Raspberry Muffin Loaf

I have a raspberry patch in my yard and I am always looking for ways to use them. This loaf is very moist and the  coconut crumble topping really adds great flavor and texture.

Yield: 1 loaf

Dry Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 cup soft brown sugar

Wet Ingredients:
1 cup sour cream
½ cup butter melted
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups fresh or frozen raspberries (can use blueberries)

For the topping:
2 Tbsp cold butter
2 tbsp all purpose flour
1/2 cup shredded coconut
2 Tbsp soft brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 F and grease and line a bread pan with parchment paper.
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
In a large bowl whisk the wet ingredients together.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, mix until just combined and then stir through the berries. Pour the batter into the baking tin.
Combine the ingredients for the topping in a bowl and using a pastry blender or your fingers mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Pour over the batter.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour or more depending on the size of your bread pan. (use a toothpick or skewer and insert to ensure batter is completely cooked). Leave to rest in the pan for 1 hour before inverting onto a wire rack.
