Here’s a delicious, moist Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread recipe — perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack 🍇🍞🧀
🍞 Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread
🛒 Ingredients
For the bread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream or plain yogurt
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
For the cream cheese swirl:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper if desired.
2️⃣ Prepare the cream cheese filling:
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
3️⃣ Make the batter:
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
- Mix in sour cream.
- Gradually fold in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in blueberries.
4️⃣ Layer the bread:
- Pour half the batter into the prepared pan.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the batter.
- Top with remaining batter and gently smooth the top.
5️⃣ Bake:
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (avoid the cream cheese swirl).
- If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the last 10–15 minutes.
6️⃣ Cool & serve:
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Slice and enjoy — plain, or with a drizzle of glaze if desired.
🌟 Tips
- Frozen blueberries: Toss with 1 tbsp flour to prevent sinking.
- Optional glaze: Mix ½ cup powdered sugar with 1–2 tsp milk and drizzle over cooled bread.
- Make it extra flavorful: Add ½ tsp lemon zest to the batter for a bright, fresh taste.
