Oh yes! Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread is a wonderful sweet treat—soft, moist, and loaded with bursts of blueberry and creamy richness. Here’s a full recipe:
Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread
Ingredients:
For the bread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ 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 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, don’t thaw)
For the cream cheese swirl:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Optional topping:
- 2 tbsp coarse sugar or streusel (1 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp flour, 2 tbsp sugar)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven: 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment for easy removal.
- Make cream cheese filling: In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream butter & sugar: In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
- Combine: Add half the dry ingredients, then sour cream, then the rest of the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Gently fold in blueberries.
- Assemble: Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Dollop the cream cheese mixture over it. Top with remaining batter and gently swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.
- Optional topping: Sprinkle coarse sugar or streusel on top.
- Bake: 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean (a few crumbs from cream cheese are okay).
- Cool: Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
💡 Tips for success:
- If using frozen blueberries, toss them in 1–2 tsp flour to prevent sinking.
- Don’t overmix the batter; it keeps the bread tender.
- This bread tastes even better the next day, once flavors meld.
If you want, I can also give a quick stovetop version for a single loaf or mini loaves that’s perfect when you want it in under an hour.
Do you want me to do that?
