Small-batch OREO cheesecake loaf? Mmm-kay lady, you do you.
As I finish my last slice of this guy for breakfast today, a tear slowly runs down my cheek 😢 Yes I could make it again but dessert-ADHD is a bish.
I always seem to get another more epic idea 🤷♀️ Oreo loaf, you will live in my memories (and belly for the day).
In all honesty though, this one wasn’t even my idea, one of you took my pumpkin cheesecake loaf and brownie bread loaf and created an EPIC love child 👏 I just thought this needs to go down to my belly and my records as well.
And I just love the way you think.
Let me know if you give this one a try!

- Whisk together cream cheese and maple syrup, set aside.
- Whisk together flax/egg, applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla, cocoa powder until smooth.
- Add flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt. Whisk to combine, the batter will be thick but pourable. If not, add 1 tbsp water at a time to make it pourable.
- Transfer 2/3 batter into loaf pan, pour on the cream cheese swirl, spread on the rest of the batter.
- (optional) Sprinkle with crushed oreo cookies.
- Bake 40-45 minutes until knife comes out clean (20 ish minutes for muffins).
- Cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
- To make a flax egg, stir together 1 tbsp (7 g) flax seed meal and 3 tbsp water and let it sit and thicken for 5 minutes.
- Here’s a link to the junior loaf pan I like to use.
- If you sub regular flour for almond flour, also add 1 tbsp oil/butter to this recipe since it’s otherwise fat-free.
- Recipe as written is low in sugar and perfect for breakfast or snacks. If you would like these to be dessert, add some granulated sugar or other sweetener.
