Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread

Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread 🫐🍞
Soft, rich, and just sweet enough—this one’s a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Bread

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour

• ¾ cup sugar

• 1½ tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

• 2 eggs

• ½ cup milk (or buttermilk)

• ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted butter

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen; don’t thaw if frozen)

Cream Cheese Swirl

• 6 oz cream cheese, softened

• ¼ cup sugar

• 1 egg

• ½ tsp vanilla

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan.

2. Make cream cheese layer: Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.

3. Mix dry ingredients: Flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

4. Mix wet ingredients: Eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla.

5. Combine: Stir wet into dry just until mixed. Gently fold in blueberries (toss them in a little flour first to prevent sinking).

6. Layer:

   • Pour half the batter into the pan

   • Add cream cheese mixture

   • Top with remaining batter

   • Swirl lightly with a knife

7. Bake 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.

8. Cool at least 20 minutes before slicing (hard part, I know).

Optional upgrades

• Lemon zest in the batter 🍋

• Streusel topping for crunch

• Swap blueberries for raspberries or mixed berries
