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!

Ingredients
  

  • Unsalted butter
  • Cream cheese
  • Granulated sugar
  • Vanilla extract
  • Eggs
  • All-purpose flour
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Fresh blueberries

Instructions
 

  • 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!

Notes

  • 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.
