Preheat oven to 350ºF. Toss bread crumbs with olive oil and spread on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes. Once cooled, pulse in a food processor or blender until it has a coarse breadcrumb consistency.
Increase oven temperature to 400ºF. Whisk onion powder, garlic powder, brown sugar, chili powder, pepper, and salt in a bowl. Mix spices with cream cheese and cheddar.
Halve jalapenos lengthwise, remove seeds, and spread cream cheese mixture down the center. Dip cream cheese side into bread crumbs and place on a greased baking sheet, cream cheese side up. Bake 10–12 minutes, until cheese is bubbly.
