Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
3. Add the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
4. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Then, add the cream cheese mixture on top, followed by the fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly.
6. Top with the remaining batter, spreading it gently over the blueberries and cream cheese.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
• Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor; if using frozen, do not thaw them before adding.
• If the top begins to brown too quickly, tent the cake with foil during baking.
• Let the cake cool completely before slicing for clean edges.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the blueberries with raspberries or chopped strawberries for a fruity twist.
• Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter for extra warmth and flavor.
• For a vegan version, use plant-based cream cheese and substitute the egg with a flaxseed egg.

What to Serve With It

• A side of fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
• A cup of coffee or tea to complement the flavors.
