🍞 Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread
Ingredients (for 1 loaf)
Bread Batter
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Cream Cheese Swirl
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven
350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. - Prepare cream cheese swirl
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar, vanilla, and flour until smooth. Set aside. - Mix dry ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. - Mix wet ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk sugar, eggs, yogurt, oil, and vanilla until smooth. - Combine
Gently fold dry ingredients into wet until just combined. Fold in blueberries carefully to avoid breaking them. - Assemble loaf
Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over it. Add remaining batter, then dollop remaining cream cheese on top. Use a knife to swirl the cream cheese gently into the batter. - Bake
50–60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cover with foil in the last 10 minutes if top browns too quickly. - Cool & serve
Cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy!
Tips
- Blueberry prep: If using frozen blueberries, toss in 1 tsp flour before adding to batter to prevent sinking.
- Extra flavor: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter or on top before baking.
- Storage: Keeps at room temperature, wrapped, for 2–3 days, or refrigerate up to 1 week.
