Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1/2 cup Butter Provides richness and moisture. Substitution: Can substitute with cooking oil, but the flavor and texture may change.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Adds creaminess and enhances moistness in the bread. Must be softened for easy mixing.
  • 1 cup Sugar Sweetens the bread and aids in browning. Consider using brown sugar for a richer flavor.
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract Adds aromatic sweetness. No substitutions recommended for authentic flavor.
  • 2 large Eggs Acts as a binder and enriches the bread. Can use flax eggs as a vegan substitute.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure to the bread. Substitution: Can use gluten-free flour – a 1:1 ratio will work well.
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder Leavening agent that helps the bread rise. Ensure it is fresh for best results.
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Enhances overall flavor. Reduces sweetness and balances taste.
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries The star ingredient that adds flavor, moisture, and color. Note: Toss in flour before adding to prevent sinking; frozen blueberries can be used in a pinch.

Equipment

  • electric mixer
  • 9x5 inch loaf pans
  • spatula
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while greasing two 9x5 inch loaf pans with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar. Using an electric mixer, cream them together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract and eggs until well combined, about 1-2 minutes on medium speed.
  4. Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture using a spatula or on low speed. Mix until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries that have been dusted in flour.
  6. Carefully divide the batter evenly into your prepared loaf pans, smoothing the tops.
  7. Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool slightly in the pans for about 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
