how to make Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread

Make sure your butter and cream cheese are soft. Mix dry and wet parts separately, then combine. Fold in the blueberries at the end to keep them whole. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean and let the bread cool a bit before removing from the pan.

Ingredients :

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh blueberries

Directions :

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
3. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
4. Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix until combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
6. Fold in the blueberries gently to avoid crushing them.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
8. Bake for 55–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

how to serve Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread

Slice the bread and serve it warm or at room temperature. It is nice with a pat of butter, a light dusting of powdered sugar, or a spread of extra cream cheese. Pair it with coffee, tea, or milk.

how to store Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread

Cool the bread completely before storing. Keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, wrap it well and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze slices for up to 2 months; thaw before serving.

tips to make Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread

• Use room-temperature butter and cream cheese for a smooth batter.
• Toss blueberries in a little flour before folding to reduce sinking.
• Do not overmix the batter; stir until just combined.
• Check the bread at 50 minutes; ovens vary. If the top browns too fast, cover loosely with foil.
• Let the bread cool slightly so it slices cleanly.

variation (if any)

• Use frozen blueberries if fresh are not available; do not thaw them before folding in.
• Add a teaspoon of lemon zest for a bright flavor.
• Stir in 1/2 cup chopped nuts or a handful of chocolate chips for texture.
• Swap half the milk for sour cream for an extra moist crumb.

FAQs

Q: Can I use frozen blueberries?
A: Yes. Do not thaw them first. Toss them in a little flour to help keep them from sinking.

Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: You can try dairy-free butter and cream cheese substitutes and a non-dairy milk. Texture will change but it will still work.

Q: Why did my blueberries sink to the bottom?
A: They may not have been floured, or the batter was too thin. Toss berries in a tablespoon of flour before folding them in.

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

Q: Can I halve the recipe?
A: Yes. Bake in a smaller pan and reduce the baking time; check often.
