This Blueberry Cream Cheese Loaf is a moist and flavorful quick bread filled with juicy blueberries and a sweet cream cheese swirl, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cream cheese mixture)
- 1 large egg (for cream cheese mixture)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cream cheese mixture)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in milk and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour and gently fold into the batter. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until smooth.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spread the cream cheese mixture on top, then add the remaining batter over the cream cheese layer.
- Use a knife to gently swirl the batter and cream cheese mixture together for a marbled effect.
- Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen blueberries, but do not thaw frozen ones before using.
- Make sure cream cheese is softened for a smoother mixture.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
