TIPS FOR THE ULTIMATE BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE BREAD
Make sure your baking powder is fresh. I have had several recipes fall flat and not have the same rise when using baking powder (or even soda) that was several months old.
Toss your blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour to prevent the berries from falling to the bottom of your bread.
If using an electric mixer to combine ingredients, switch to a wooden spoon or spatula to fold the berries in. You don’t want to risk breaking the berries open and having purple batter.
This recipe is perfect for full size loaves, mini loaves, and even muffins. Just change up the cook time depending on which pan you use.
