Blueberry Cream Cheese Loaf

How To Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Loaf

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans and set aside.

Step 2: Coat the Blueberries

Toss blueberries with 2 tablespoons of flour. This helps keep them from sinking to the bottom.

Set aside.

Step 3: Cream the Base

In a large bowl, beat together:

• Butter

• Cream cheese

• Sugar

• Vanilla

Mix until smooth and creamy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together:

• Remaining 2 cups flour

• Baking powder

• Salt

Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined.

Step 5: Fold in Blueberries

Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. Be careful not to overmix — you want those berries whole and juicy.

Step 6: Bake

Divide batter evenly between the two loaf pans.

Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

The tops should be golden and slightly cracked — that’s when you know it’s perfect!

Step 7: Cool

Let cool in pans for 10 minutes.

Run a knife along edges and invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Slice, serve, and enjoy.
