Here’s a delicious, moist Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread recipe — perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack.
🫐 Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread (Loaf, Serves ~8)
Ingredients
For the bread batter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- ½ cup sour cream or plain yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1–1¼ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
For the cream cheese filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional topping
- 2 tbsp coarse sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven
- Oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper for easier removal.
2️⃣ Make cream cheese filling
- In a small bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
3️⃣ Prepare bread batter
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, oil, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into wet until just combined.
- Fold in blueberries carefully (to avoid crushing them).
4️⃣ Layer the batter
- Spoon half the bread batter into the loaf pan.
- Spread cream cheese filling over the center.
- Top with remaining batter. Smooth the top.
- Optional: sprinkle coarse sugar on top for a slight crunch.
5️⃣ Bake
- Bake 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (a few crumbs are okay, just avoid cream cheese).
- Let cool 10 minutes in pan, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
🔥 Tips for Perfect Blueberry Bread
- Coat frozen blueberries lightly in flour before folding in to prevent sinking.
- Don’t overmix the batter — you want a tender, fluffy bread.
- Serve sliced plain, with butter, or a drizzle of glaze.
I can also give a quick microwave or mini loaf version if you want a faster, smaller treat.
