Ingredients

Scale

Batter Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar (natural)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese (plant-based), softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened plant-based cream cheese with sugar (natural) and lemon zest. Stir until smooth, then set aside while you prepare the batter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder (natural), salt, and sugar (natural) to ensure even distribution.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs with vegetable oil, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract (natural) until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Bring Together the Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter, taking care to keep them whole and evenly distributed.
  6. Assemble the Bread: Pour half of the batter into a prepared loaf pan. Spoon the cream cheese filling over the batter in a layer, then add the remaining batter on top, spreading gently to cover.
  7. Bake and Cool: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, fold them in while still frozen to avoid coloring the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light, fluffy texture.
  • Chill the cream cheese filling slightly for neater layering inside the bread.
  • Grease and line the loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick near the cream cheese swirl to ensure it is fully baked.
