Girls, I’ve got the most delightful quick bread recipe to share with you today – this Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread is absolutely heavenly! With juicy, plump blueberries nestled in every moist slice, it’s a treat for your tastebuds. And so easy, you can whip it up in no time at all.
Let Me Tell You, This Bread Will Become a Fast Favorite
Now I know some of you will take one look at the name and think – blueberries AND cream cheese? In bread? But let me tell you, the combo is magical! The tangy cream cheese keeps each bite so moist while the bursts of sweet, jammy blueberries take it over the top.
Over the years I’ve tried every blueberry bread recipe under the sun. Some turned out dry as a bone! And others had the berries all sunken on the bottom. But after plenty of trial and error in my kitchen, this is hands down the best blueberry bread I’ve ever tasted – and I just know it will become a fast favorite in your home as well.
The Memories This Bread Will Bring
Baking up a fresh loaf takes me right back to summer days picking berries as a girl. Do you remember that? Racing your siblings to fill up your bucket the fastest? I swear we ate half the berries before they ever made it into our baskets!
Let this easy recipe transport you right back to those sweet summer memories. I can just see the smiles on your kids’ and grandkids’ faces when they bite into a slice. That first taste of juicy berries and soft bread will have you all reminiscing about your own blueberry picking adventures.
C’mon Girls, Let’s Get Baking!
Now enough memory lane, let’s get down to baking! This recipe whips up in a jiffy. Before you know it you’ll have two golden loaves cooling on the counter, just begging to be sliced into. I always use fresh berries – the flavor can’t be beat – but feel free to use frozen if you need to.
Be sure to check out the tips below before you get started. Little things like flouring the berries and making sure your baking powder is fresh can make all the difference.
Can’t wait to hear what you and your families think! Once you bake this up, drop me a line and let me know if it transports you right back to those carefree summer days like it does for me. Happy baking, friends!
