🍞 Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread
🛒 Ingredients (Makes 1 loaf)
For the bread:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup sour cream or plain yogurt
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
For the cream cheese filling:
- 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional topping:
- 2 tbsp sugar or streusel topping (butter, flour, sugar mixture)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper if desired.
2️⃣ Make Cream Cheese Filling
- In a small bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
3️⃣ Make the Bread Batter
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, sour cream, oil, and vanilla.
- Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined.
- Gently fold in blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
4️⃣ Assemble Loaf
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
- Drop cream cheese mixture in spoonfuls over the batter.
- Pour remaining batter on top. Swirl lightly with a knife for a marbled effect.
- Optional: sprinkle sugar or streusel on top.
5️⃣ Bake
- Bake 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (a few crumbs from cream cheese are okay).
- Let cool 10 minutes in the pan, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
🍽 Serving
- Serve sliced for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
- Optional: drizzle with glaze (powdered sugar + milk + vanilla) for extra sweetness.
🔥 Tips & Variations
- Frozen blueberries: Toss with 1–2 tsp flour before adding to batter to prevent sinking.
- Flavor twist: Add lemon zest to the batter for a bright, fresh flavor.
- Mini loaves or muffins: Divide batter into 12 muffin cups and bake 20–25 minutes.
- Streusel topping: Mix 2 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp flour, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon. Sprinkle on top before baking.
