Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat flour.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Can substitute with coconut sugar.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Ensure it’s fresh for best results.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances flavors.

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened Can substitute with coconut oil.
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened Neufchâtel can be used for a lighter option.

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds warmth and aroma.
  • 1/2 cup milk Almond or oat milk can be used.

Fruits

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  • In another bowl, beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, and blend until creamy. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring until well incorporated.
  • Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until just mixed, taking care not to over-mix to ensure a light loaf.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle some sugar on top if desired.

Baking

  • Bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
