Jump to RecipeNot even kidding with how rich and indulgent this was.
Think biting into a huge loaf of Oreo cookie – yeah that good – but actually healthy and low calorie and good for you!
Ingredients for this Protein Oreo Bread
This protein oreo bread is made with nutritious ingredients like whole wheat pastry flour and non-fat greek yogurt, and has no oil and no butter either – the perfect low fat (and slightly low carb) recipe!
Here’s the simple pantry staples you need for this perfect dessert and breakfast Oreo quickbread:
- Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
- Chocolate Protein Powder; This is the source of protein and sweetness in the protein powder Oreo bread since there’s no added sugar in this recipe.
I used a whey-caesin blend from Quest here. - Unflavored Protein Powder to replace some of the flour (and carbs) in the recipe for a slightly lower carb high protein Oreo cookies bread. Quest again here.
- Black Cocoa Powder or Black Cacao Powder; This is the one I used
- Some Coconut Flour
- Stevia Sweetener
- Unsweetened Applesauce
- Non-fat Greek Yogurt for a high protein low fat loaf!
- Almond Milk
- Eggs
- Vanilla Extract
- Baking Powder
And for the proper Oreo Bread Recipe
- Sugar-free Oreo Sandwich Cookies – I used the Keto friendly Chocolate Vanilla Sandwich Cookies from Catalina Crunch to make these healthy low calorie Oreo donuts.
Tips for perfect Oreo Loaf using Protein Powder
This protein powder Oreo loaf is quite easy, but here’s some tips to make sure they turn out perfect!
- Use room temperature eggs, applesauce, yogurt and milk;
This is so the wet ingredients and dry ingredients can mix well.
- Don’t overmix the batter!
Make sure you gently fold the dry mix into the wet to combine them.
If you over-mix it, the protein powder – will make it tough, dense and gummy.
- Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter and have low sugar cookies and cream bread.
How to Store Cookies and Cream Protein Bread
This moist and tender protein packed cookies and cream bread keeps really well and is great for a meal prep snack, breakfast or post-workout treat.
You can keep the protein powder Oreo cookies bread out at room temperature for about 3 days in an airtight container.
For longer, keep high protein cookies and cream loaf in the fridge for about a week – use an airtight container again.
To freeze the healthy cookies and cream bread, cut it into slices, wrap each slice in plastic wrap, and place them in a freezer-safe zipper bag.
You can even store the whole loaf itself – be sure to let it thaw before you serve.
Alternatives for Healthy Oreo Cookies Bread
For the perfect low fat but moist healthy Oreo cookies bread, I would highly suggest using the ingredients and protein powder brands I recommended; I do have some alternatives you can try. I haven’t testing them all, so I can’t say how your loaf might turn out.
- Whole Wheat Pastry Flour: Use All purpose flour or 1:1 Gluten Free Baking Flour in the same amount by weight not cups.

This was legit! My whole family enjoyed this loaf (especially warmed up with just a little butter or cream cheese on top) and I shared the recipe with my fav internet friends. Keep a close eye on it in the oven as baking times vary and you don’t want to over bake it and get a dry cake!
Ooh that slightly warm bread with cream cheese sounds delish, will have to try that for sure! Yeah I’ve heard baking times change with elevation and oven times as well. Thanks for the catch 🙂
