Plum-Blackberry Cream Cheese Bread With Oat Streusel
- FOR THE BREAD:
- 1 cup Unbleached All-purpose Flour
- 1 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 cups Unsalted Butter, Softened
- 1/2 cups Packed Light Brown Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla, Divided
- 3 ounces, weight Chopped Plums, Plus A Few More Pieces For Topping
- 3 ounces, weight Blackberries, Plus A Few More For Topping
- 4 ounces, weight Neufchatel Cream Cheese, Softened
- 1/4 cups Granulated Sugar
- FOR THE STREUSEL TOPPING:
- 1/4 cups Unbleached All-purpose Flour
- 1/4 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 2 Tablespoons Light Brown Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 2 Tablespoons Cold Unsalted Butter (cut Into Small Pieces)
- Powdered Sugar, For Topping (optional)
- Heat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease an 8-by-4-inch or 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray with flour (like Baker's Joy or Pam Baking Spray). Or you can spray it with regular cooking spray and lightly dust pan with flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together butter and brown sugar until light and slightly fluffy. Add eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla; stir to combine.
- Add flour mixture into the butter mixture; stir to combine. Gently fold in chopped plums and blackberries.
- In a small bowl, beat together cream cheese, remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla and sugar. Fold it into the batter just a few times so there are streaks of cream cheese throughout.
- Make the oat streusel: Add all ingredients except the powdered sugar into a small bowl and mix with your fingers until a clumpy, cohesive, streusel-texture mix forms.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Top with a few pieces of chopped plums and blackberries, if desired. Top it evenly with the oat streusel.
- Bake for 1 hour (this could be less if you use a 9-by-5-inch pan) or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, cover with a tent of foil.
- Remove pan from oven and set it on a rack. Cool bread for 15 minutes in the pan, then carefully remove it from the pan and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
