Ingredients
- Bread: All-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, milk (or buttermilk), blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- Cream Cheese Filling: Cream cheese, sugar, egg, vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt) in a bowl.
- Cream butter and sugar in another bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
- Alternately mix in dry ingredients and milk, stirring gently.
- Fold in blueberries, tossing them in flour first to prevent sinking.
- Prepare the cream cheese filling by beating cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla together.
- Layer batter and filling: Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, spread the cream cheese mixture, then top with remaining batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing.
- Don’t overmix the batter—it keeps the bread light and fluffy.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding them to the batter.
- For extra sweetness, drizzle with a lemon glaze made with powdered sugar and lemon juice.
