Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1½ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups fresh blueberries, tossed in 1 tablespoon flour

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans and set aside.

Step 2: Cream the Base

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet batter, mixing just until incorporated.

Step 5: Fold in Blueberries

Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour (to prevent sinking), then gently fold them into the batter.

Step 6: Fill and Bake

Divide the thick batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans.
Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Let the bread cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice once fully cooled and enjoy!

Tips for Success

• Tossing blueberries in flour prevents them from sinking
• Let the butter and cream cheese fully soften for the best texture
• Don’t overmix the batter once the flour is added
• Substitute half the flour with whole wheat for a heartier loaf

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, just do not thaw them first. Toss in flour and fold them in gently to avoid purple streaks.

Can I make this in one large pan instead?
Yes, use a bundt pan or a deep 9×13 baking dish and adjust the baking time as needed.

How do I store this bread?
Wrap tightly and store at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
