Ingredients

  • For the Bread:
    • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
    • 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • For the Cream Cheese Filling:
    • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  • Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Assemble the Bread:
    • Pour half of the bread batter into the prepared loaf pan.
    • Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the batter, leaving a small border around the edges.
    • Top with the remaining bread batter and gently fold the blueberries into it before spooning them on top of the loaf.
  • Bake: Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover with foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.
  • Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a berry twist, try mixing in raspberries or blackberries.
  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for extra texture.
  • A teaspoon of lemon or orange zest can add a refreshing citrus flavor.
