Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Fresh blueberries | 1 cup |
| All-purpose flour | 1½ cups |
| Granulated sugar | ½ cup |
| Brown sugar | ¼ cup |
| Salt | ½ tsp |
| Baking powder | ½ tsp |
| Baking soda | ¼ tsp |
| Unsalted butter, softened | ½ cup |
| Cream cheese, softened | 4 oz |
| Large eggs | 2 |
| Vanilla extract | 1 tsp |
| Milk | ½ cup |
Instructions
1. Prepare Your Pan and Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
3. Cream the Butter and Cream Cheese
Using a mixer, beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth, fluffy, and completely combined. This step creates the rich, creamy texture that makes this bread unique.
4. Add the Eggs and Flavor
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is silky and lump-free.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix on low speed until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
6. Fold in the Blueberries
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries using a spatula. Coat them lightly in a tablespoon of flour first to prevent them from sinking.
7. Bake the Bread
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely before slicing to maintain the perfect texture.
