Description
This Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread is soft, tangy, and studded with bursts of fresh berry flavor. The cream cheese keeps the crumb tender and moist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until just combined. Carefully fold in the blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Use room-temperature ingredients for a smooth batter. If using frozen blueberries, toss them lightly in flour to prevent sinking. Do not overmix once you add the flour.
