It’s summer break in our house, which means every morning is a lazy morning. No one to take to school, no place to be by 8:00 am. Time to stay in our jammies and stay out of the heat. Smoothies are a go-to in the summer when it comes to breakfast. Quick, easy and refreshing. Every once in awhile the kids will ask for pancakes or a special breakfast treats. Because I love my littles oh so much, it’s hard to say no!
I’m sharing with you this lovely raspberry coffee cake today, made with one of my favorite summer fruits. I buy fresh raspberries at Costco and they are pretty much gone in 2 days. If I can get to them fast enough, I’m able to use some in my baking. The other morning I made this raspberry coffee cake and it was so light and fluffy. The layer of fresh berries, sprinkled with a cinnamon crumb topping. Coffee cake is one of my all time faves with my cup of coffee in the morning. The addition of raspberries just makes this coffee cake even more amazing!

LOVE the idea of adding raspberries to coffee cake!! This looks SO good, Sarah. I must say though, I am super impressed that the raspberries from Costco even last 2 days. In my house if they're not gone in 2 hours, it's a miracle!
This looks delicious. Do you think it would work with any type of berry? Please check out my blog! Amy @ amycastillo.com

OOOH, this looks delish. I'm going to make this for sure.
It looks so delicious, or 'how to be the best wife' 🙂
Hi! I am planning to make this… it looks delicious. For the coconut milk, did you use the culinary coconut milk or the large carton version for drinking? Thanks!!
I used the drinking coconut milk, not the canned coconut milk.
