Absolutely! Here’s a moist, flavorful Blueberry Cream Cheese Loaf recipe — perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. I’ll include nutritional estimates too.
Blueberry Cream Cheese Loaf
Ingredients (Loaf Serves 8–10)
For the loaf:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed in 1 tsp flour to prevent sinking)
For the cream cheese filling:
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven: 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Make cream cheese filling:
- Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
- Prepare the batter:
- In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
- Mix in sour cream until smooth.
- Fold in dry ingredients gently, then fold in blueberries.
- Layer the loaf:
- Spread half of the batter in the loaf pan.
- Spoon cream cheese mixture over the batter.
- Top with remaining batter and smooth the top.
- Bake: 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (cream cheese filling may stick a little — that’s okay!).
- Cool: Let cool in the pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Optional Topping
- Dust with powdered sugar, or drizzle with simple glaze: ½ cup powdered sugar + 1–2 tsp milk.

💡 Pro Tips:
- Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer — just toss in flour first.
- Let the loaf cool completely before slicing to prevent cream cheese from oozing.
- For extra flavor, add zest of 1 lemon to the batter.
