How To Make Cookies and Cream Bread
It takes just 10 minutes to prep this easy bread!
- Prep – Grease loaf pan and preheat oven.
- Make Batter – Combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients and crushed Oreos. Gradually add dry mixture to wet until just moist.
- Fill – Pour half of the batter into pan.
- Prepare Filling – Combine cream cheese, egg and sugar. Pour cream cheese mixture over bread batter. Add remaining bread batter until 1″ below the top of the loaf pan to compensate for rise. Swirl in with a knife.
- Bake – Bake until toothpick comes out “clean” (with the exception of a little cream cheese). Allow to cool before serving, refrigerating or freezing.
Tips

- Use the Toothpick Test – Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, with the exception of a little cream cheese, then it’s done. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Julie’s Tips
- Be sure to grease your loaf pan before adding the dough.
- The bread will take about 45 minutes to bake, start checking it about 5 minutes before time as some ovens can run hotter.
- Check when the bread is done by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, with the exception of a little cream cheese, then it’s ready.
- The batter should not exceed 1″ from the top of the loaf pan to compensate for rise.

HI Julie – I’m guessing you mean 1 egg and not actually 1/2 cup of egg in the cream cheese mixture…?
Sorry about that, Cheryl! It’s 1/2 an egg in the cream cheese mixture. I just updated. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
Julie, this looks so delicious! I will be making this bread this weekend for my 4 grandsons. Quick question – recipe reads “1/2 cup egg”. Can you clarify for me?
I’m SO sorry! I updated it – it’s 1/2 of an egg. I can’t wait to hear what they think. Enjoy your time with them this weekend!
