tips to make Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread

  • Use fresh blueberries for best texture.
  • Toss blueberries in a teaspoon of flour to help keep them from sinking.
  • Do not overmix the batter; fold gently to keep the bread light.
  • Check the loaf at 50 minutes; oven times can vary.

variation (if any)

  • Add 1 teaspoon lemon zest to the batter for a bright flavor.
  • Substitute frozen blueberries (do not thaw) if fresh are not available.
  • Stir in 1/2 cup chopped nuts for extra crunch.

FAQs

Q: Can I use frozen blueberries?
A: Yes. Use frozen and do not thaw them. Fold frozen berries into the batter so they stay separate.

Q: How do I know when the bread is done?
A: Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, it is done.

Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: You can try dairy-free butter and a cream cheese substitute, and use a non-dairy sour cream. Texture may change slightly.
