How to combine two of my favorite flavors - blueberries and cream cheese? I tried a few recipe combinations and tweaked them to find this one delicious. Even though it is a bread, it does have a cake-like consistency. When the blueberry season comes around, this recipe gives you a great choice to enjoy them! With a cup of your favorite brew, you will find it is a real treat - so moist with a blueberry burst of flavor!!

How To Make blueberry cream cheese bread

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour one large loaf pan or four mini loaf pans. Set aside.
  • 2
    In a bowl, cream softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, and egg. Set filling aside.
  • 3
    Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add salt and vanilla extract. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Fold in half of dry ingredients into butter-sugar mixture, then add milk, and finally the remainder of dry ingredients. Toss blueberries in tablespoon of flour and fold into batter. Your batter will be thick.
  • 4
    Spread half of batter into the bottom of prepared loaf pan(s). Using a spatula, spread cream cheese filling on top. Spread the remainder of batter over cream cheese and bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes (for mini loaf pans) or 50-55 minutes (for large loaf pan). Allow to cool in pan for at least 20 minutes before removing. Wrap leftover bread in plastic wrap and store in refrigerator.
