Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Bread
My husband calls this Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Bread a cookie in a loaf. It’s a very yummy recipe that works great for mid-afternoon snack or dessert. The cream cheese adds a little extra tang and super creaminess to the bread. This is also a wonderful bread to make around the holiday time to share with friends and neighbors because who doesn’t love chocolate chips?
Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Bread
What you need:
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 8oz cream cheese
- 1 1/4 c. sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 t. vanilla
- 2 c. flour
- 1 t. baking powder
- 1/4 t. salt
- 1/4 c. milk
- 1 1/2 c. chocolate chips
What to do:
Mix together all the ingredients except for the flour and the milk. Then add 1 cup of flour and 1/8 c. milk. Mix well, then add in the second cup of flour and the rest of the milk. Whipping this dough mixture with the hand mixers isn’t completely necessary but it will give it a slightly less dense texture. It tastes good either way!
Pour the mixture into 2 greased loaf pans or 4 mini loaf pans.
Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes for mini loaves or 40-45 minutes for a big loaf. This recipe will make 4 mini loaves or 1 to 2 large loaves, depending on the size of your loaf pan.
Yum! I took this recipe over to all the neighbors on Memorial Day for a little treat. I’ve also given it away as a gift around the holidays to friends and family. This is one of those perfect dessert bread recipes. It’s light enough for an afternoon treat and perfectly sweet enough for a little something after a meal.

Looks good…
I don’t see the size of the larger pan specified. Says it makes 2 loaves. Would they be 8×4 or 9×5 loaves? Thanks.
CANT WAIT TO TRY THIS RECIPE, AS I LOVE QUICK BREADS. (ESPECIALLY THE ONES WITHOUT MANY
CALORIES) LOL! RIGHT?
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Would this work with gluten free flour? It looks fantastic. I am going to have to try it.
I think it should. It may end up being slightly denser but you could try adding a bit more baking powder.
Omigosh… I am finally trying this! Got the corn off the fields. The rye planted. And, even though it’s late, I was going thru my bookmarks, and this looked so good. Been waiting to try this for a while. All I have on hand is spelt flour, organic and sprouted. So, I just doubled the egg, baking soda ((instead of powder), and salt. Hopefully that will help keep it from being so heavy from the spelt. It’s in the oven now…. Looks good! Will post to let you know how it turns out. I am so excited!
Ooo, let me know! 🙂
It turned out awesome!!! My husband, raised Amish, grew up eating good homemade breads. When he tasted, said he loved it! Thanks for the great recipe! It was a hit in our household! 🙂
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
You had me at cream cheese! I use chocolate chips in a lot of breads so I am intrigued with adding in some cream cheese…yum!
It makes it so creamy and smooth! 🙂
This looks so delicious Merissa! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe with us.

I just read your story to my husband and he was crying. We started out the same way once and now have been married 51 years.. I love your site. MERRY CHRISTMAS
Aww 🙂 Merry Christmas to you too Edna!
Is the “t.” for teaspoon or for tablespoon? Regarding the measurement of the vanilla and baking powder
Lowercase t = teaspoon. Uppercase T = Tablespoon
Probably a silly question, but can whole wheat pastry flour be used?
I haven’t tried it but I don’t see why not.
Hi Merissa,
Could blueberries be used in place of the chocolate chips?
I don’t see why not! 🙂
Hi does this bread need refrigeration?
I would recommend refrigerating it.
Not sure what happened. The batter was like dough and never cooked all the way through. I checked the ingredient list several times and everything was as listed. Super disappointed with my results. 😢
My whole family loves this bread! Easy recipe and so yummy. I am now teaching my daughter how to make it.
