Description
Cream Cheese Vanilla Breakfast Loaf is a soft, tender breakfast bread made with cream cheese blended directly into the batter for a rich yet light crumb. Gently sweetened and warmly scented with vanilla, this loaf slices cleanly and stays moist for days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup neutral oil
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Step: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
- Step: In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
- Step: Beat in softened cream cheese until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Step: Stir in oil, milk, and vanilla extract until cohesive.
- Step: In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Step: Fold dry ingredients gently into the batter until just combined.
- Step: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Step: Bake for 45–50 minutes until set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Step: Cool briefly in the pan, then transfer to a rack and cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Avoid overmixing once flour is added to keep the crumb tender. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil near the end.
