Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread is a comforting and fresh treat combining juicy blueberries with creamy plant-based cream cheese.

Easy to prepare and versatile, this bread brings warmth and joy with every slice.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Blend the plant-based cream cheese with 1/4 cup of the sugar and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and creamy. Set aside for layering later.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and natural gelling agent to form the base for the bread’s soft crumb and even texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the remaining sugar, apple cider vinegar, plant-based milk, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). The acidity of the apple cider vinegar activates the baking soda, helping the bread rise.
  4. Bring the Batter Together: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, taking care not to overmix. Then carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to keep them intact and evenly distributed.
  5. Layer and Bake: Pour half of the batter into a greased loaf pan, spread half of the cream cheese mixture over it, then add the remaining batter. Lightly swirl the mixture with a knife to create a marble effect. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the bread is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries to avoid excess moisture and sogginess in the bread.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light texture.
  • Begin checking the bread for doneness at 50 minutes, as oven temperatures vary.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
  • Swirl the cream cheese mixture gently to achieve beautiful layered marbling without overblending.
