This Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread is a moist and tender quick bread swirled with rich cream cheese and packed with juicy blueberries. It’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries with a spatula.
  6. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon half of the cream cheese mixture over the batter and swirl gently with a knife.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter and cream cheese mixture, swirling the top layer.
  9. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Add a teaspoon of lemon zest for a citrusy flavor.
  • Use almond extract instead of vanilla for a twist.
  • Mix in other berries like raspberries or blackberries.
  • Sprinkle chopped nuts on top before baking for added crunch.
  • Use gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-friendly version.
  • Wrap tightly and store at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for 5 days.
  • To freeze, wrap slices individually and freeze up to 2 months.
  • Reheat individual slices in microwave for 15–20 seconds or warm in toaster oven.
