Description

This Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread is a moist and flavorful loaf combining tangy cream cheese, sweet blueberries, and a soft buttery crumb. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a delightful snack, this bread has a rich texture and bursts of juicy berries in every bite.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter (softened, unsalted)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Fruits

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries (tossed in 1 tbsp flour)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter, Cream Cheese, and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, softened cream cheese, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add Vanilla and Eggs: Mix in the vanilla extract and then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a homogeneous batter.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients, mixing slowly to form a thick batter without overmixing.
  5. Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold the floured fresh blueberries into the batter to distribute them evenly without breaking them up.
  6. Fill Pans: Divide the thick batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans, smoothing the top slightly with a spatula.
  7. Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating doneness.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the breads from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes in the pans. Then carefully remove the loaves from the pans and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter and cream cheese are softened for easier mixing and a smoother batter.
  • Tossing blueberries in flour helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to keep the bread tender.
  • Use fresh blueberries for best results; frozen can be used but may affect the texture slightly.
  • Check for doneness a few minutes before 50 minutes as oven temperatures can vary.
  • This bread can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
