Ingredients

Scale

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 1/2 cup plant-based cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a small bowl, combine plant-based cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract (natural), and a pinch of natural gelling agent until smooth and creamy. Set aside while you prepare the batter.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, natural gelling agent, and salt. This mixture forms the base for your soft bread structure.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk plant-based milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Bring Batter Together: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender and fluffy.
  5. Add Blueberries: Carefully fold fresh blueberries into the batter to ensure they stay whole and distribute evenly.
  6. Assemble the Bread: Pour half of the batter into a greased loaf pan. Spoon the cream cheese filling over the batter in even dollops, then pour the remaining batter on top, gently spreading to cover the cream cheese layer.
  7. Bake & Cool: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing for the best texture.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and plant-based milk are at room temperature for smooth mixing and even texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to prevent dense bread; mix only until combined.
  • Use fresh, plump blueberries to avoid excess moisture that can weaken the bread structure.
  • Grease the pan well with oil or plant-based butter to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  • Allow the bread to cool fully before slicing to avoid crumbling.
