Cookies and cream bread is our favorite chocolate sandwich cookie in delicious bread form! It’s perfect for breakfast and dessert! This sweet quick bread recipe is straight forward to make with simple pantry ingredients.
Every now and then, something hits me. An idea I just can’t escape. I try to think zucchini and spinach, but my mind keeps begging for cookies and breads. Our family loves Oreo cookies. It’s the girls’ most requested ice cream. So, I gave it a shot, I mixed a few of our favorite things with one of my favorite recipes and voila, magic was made. Cookies and Cream Bread!
The girls think that they don’t like cream cheese, but they have had a countless number of appetizers and desserts made with cream cheese that they just can’t get enough of, and this Cookies and Cream Bread is no exception.
Adapted from my sweet bread recipe, Cookies and Cream bread takes just 10 minutes hands on time and bakes to perfection. I like to serve it warm for breakfast or dessert, but it’s delicious at room temperature, too!
If we’re hosting guests for the weekend, I’ll whip up a few loaves of various breads because it keeps well when wrapped. Caramel Cheesecake is another favorite!
This quick bread has certainly been a hit in our house and it disappeared in record time! I was quickly being asked to make some more! It’s so perfectly sweet and moist, it’s hard to resist! I can’t wait for you guys to make this, you are going to love it!

- Prep – Grease 1 lb loaf pan and preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Tips to Make Bread
- 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.
- To get 1/2 egg for filling, whisk an egg in a small bowl and divide.
To Store
Once you have baked the bread, let it cool and then store it in an airtight container. It will last for a couple of days and room temperature and about a week in the fridge. You can also freeze the bread, just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil and then thaw it at room temperature.

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!
