Description
A moist and delicious Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread that features a rich cream cheese filling and is loaded with fresh blueberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk (or buttermilk)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed in 1 tablespoon flour to prevent sinking)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined. Fold in the floured blueberries gently.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Pour half of the bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Then, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the batter. Top with the remaining batter, carefully spreading it to cover the cream cheese layer.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too much, cover it loosely with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make sure to toss the blueberries in flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread.
- This bread can be served warm or at room temperature and is perfect for breakfast or as a snack.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
