Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup plant-based butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup milk alternative (such as almond milk)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Cream Cheese Swirl

  • 1 cup plant-based cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Additional

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Swirl: In a medium bowl, whisk together the plant-based cream cheese, sugar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent until smooth and slightly thickened. Set aside to keep the luscious filling ready for swirling.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk them together to ensure even distribution and fluffiness in the final bread.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted plant-based butter, milk alternative, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract (natural). This mixture will bring moistness and richness to your bread dough.
  4. Make the Batter and Add Blueberries: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, spreading them evenly through the batter.
  5. Layer the Batter and Cream Cheese: Pour half of the batter into a greased loaf pan. Spoon half of the cream cheese mixture over the batter and swirl gently using a knife or skewer. Repeat with the remaining batter and cream cheese mixture for a beautiful marbled effect.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Bake the bread at 350°F (175°C) for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries to keep the bread bright and beautiful.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense bread.
  • Use a skewer or butter knife to create gentle swirls without completely mixing the cream cheese into the batter.
  • Bring plant-based cream cheese and butter to room temperature for smooth blending.
  • Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick toward the center of the loaf; it should come out clean.
