- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar

Instructions

Blueberry Loaf
- Place blueberries in a small bowl and add ¼ cup of flour. Stir to fully coat blueberries and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.
- Add in eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract.
- Add in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined.
- Fold in the flour covered blueberries.
Cream Cheese Filling
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add in the egg yolks, sour cream, and sugar. Beat until well combined and smooth. Set aside.
Streusel Topping
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and butter.
- Using a fork, or clean hands, mix the butter in with the dry ingredients until fully incorporated.
- Fill the loaf pan ½ way, add in ½ of the cream cheese mixture and use a toothpick or knife to swirl into the batter.
- Add the remainder of the batter on top and then the rest of cream cheese, and swirl into the batter.
- Now, top the loaf with a generous amount of streusel topping and bake in the preheated oven for 65-76 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Notes
Tips
- Frozen blueberries work well out of season. Don't thaw them before baking.
- Greek yogurt is a great substitute for sour cream if you don't have it on hand.
- Mix the batter just until combined to keep the loaf soft and tender.
- Tossing blueberries in flour helps distribute them evenly throughout the loaf.
- Allowing the loaf to cool helps the cream cheese filling set properly.
- Spray the loaf pan evenly with cooking spray, but don't use so much that it pools.
- If the streusel topping starts to brown too much, lightly cover with aluminum foil and continue baking.
