When I first baked this Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread, I knew I had found a keeper. The rich, creamy texture of the bread combined with bursts of fresh, juicy blueberries was absolutely irresistible. I couldn’t help but sneak a slice right out of the oven!
Prep Time 10 minutes mins

- Unsalted butter
- Cream cheese
- Granulated sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Eggs
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Fresh blueberries
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans with butter or non-stick spray. This bread batter is thick, so greasing well is key!
Cream together softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract for a touch of sweetness and then mix in the eggs one at a time to ensure even incorporation.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mix, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure the final bread stays light and tender.
Toss your fresh blueberries in a tablespoon of flour to keep them from sinking. Gently fold them into the batter using a spatula. This step ensures the blueberries are spread evenly throughout the loaf. 🫐
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake at 350°F for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool slightly before removing it from the pans.
Slice and serve warm with a pat of butter. Alternatively, enjoy the bread chilled with a drizzle of honey. Either way, it will disappear quickly!

- Use Fresh Baking Powder: Always check the freshness of your baking powder. Old powder can cause your bread to sink in the middle.
- Fold Gently: Use a gentle hand when folding in the blueberries to avoid crushing them and turning your batter purple.
- Keep Ingredients at Room Temp: Ensuring butter, cream cheese, and eggs are room temperature makes for a smoother batter.
