Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat & Prepare
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans and set aside.
2. Coat the Blueberries
Toss blueberries with 2 tablespoons of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking during baking.
3. Cream the Base
In a large bowl, beat butter, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together:
-
2 cups flour
-
Baking powder
-
Salt
Gradually add to the wet mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
6. Fold in Blueberries
Gently fold in the floured blueberries. Be careful not to overmix — you want those berries whole and juicy!
7. Bake
Divide batter evenly between prepared loaf pans.
Bake 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
The smell while this bakes? Sweet, buttery heaven filling your whole kitchen!
8. Cool
Cool in pans for 10 minutes. Run a knife along edges and invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
