Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Fruits

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and natural gelling agent to ensure even distribution and a light crumb in your bread. Set aside.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a separate bowl, blend plant-based cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, forming a rich base that adds moisture and tang.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add vegetable oil, vanilla extract (natural), apple cider vinegar, unsweetened plant-based milk, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) into the cream cheese mixture. Mix well to create a smooth and harmonious batter.
  4. Gently Fold Dry Ingredients Into Wet: Slowly add the dry flour mixture into the wet mixture, folding delicately to maintain airiness and avoid over-mixing, which could lead to denser bread.
  5. Add Blueberries: Carefully fold fresh blueberries into the batter to ensure even distribution without bursting the berries, adding flavor and visual appeal throughout.
  6. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for better shape retention during baking.
  • Ensure all dairy-free ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Mix the batter gently to avoid tough texture.
  • Use an oven thermometer for consistent baking temperature.
  • Allow the bread to cool fully so the natural gelling agent can set, improving sliceability.
