Ah, Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread—a perfect blend of sweet, tangy, and moist, ideal for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy snack! Here’s a simple recipe you can make at home:
Ingredients
For the bread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
For the cream cheese filling:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tsp milk or lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven: 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Make the cream cheese filling:
- Mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
- Mix the bread batter:
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla and sour cream.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredients.
- Gently fold in blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Layer the bread:
- Pour half the batter into the pan.
- Spread cream cheese filling over the batter.
- Top with the remaining batter. Swirl lightly with a knife for a marbled effect.
- Bake:
- Bake 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool for 10–15 minutes before removing from the pan.
- Optional glaze:
- Mix powdered sugar with milk or lemon juice. Drizzle over cooled bread for extra sweetness.
✅ Tip: Toss blueberries in a teaspoon of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent sinking.
If you want, I can also give a version that’s extra moist and bakery-style, with a gooey cream cheese swirl and a crunchy sugary top. Do you want me to do that?
