Cream-Cheese Filled Blueberry Lemon Bread | The Recipe Rebel

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease an 8x4" (or 9x5") loaf pan.

In a large bowl whisk together oil and sugar. Add eggs, yogurt, vanilla and juice and whisk until smooth.

Add flour, baking powder, salt and lemon zest and stir just until combined. Fold in blueberries.

Make the cream cheese layer: in a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and egg white with an electric mixer until smooth.

Pour ⅔ of your bread batter into prepared loaf pan. Top with all of cream cheese mixture and spread evenly. Top with remaining ⅓ bread batter and smooth the top.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 50-55 minutes, covering loosely with foil after 30 minutes or when top is golden, until a toothpick in the bread (not the cream cheese) comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
