Egg Nog Bread

34 Replies

One of the things I enjoy about Christmas is the chance to have some eggnog. I don’t drink a lot of eggnog, but I do enjoy some now and then at the holidays. I thought it would be fun to try using eggnog in a recipe, so I made this Egg Nog Bread! I added an eggnog glaze to it, and I really liked the way it turned out!

This quick bread has a subtle eggnog flavor, and the creamy glaze gives it a nice sweetness. Some of my friends who taste-tested it are not big eggnog fans, but they still liked the bread! I will definitely be making this again…I may even start a new tradition and make it every Christmas! This recipe makes one 9 x 5 inch loaf or 3 small mini loaves (3 x 5″). The mini loaves make great holiday gifts!

EGG NOG BREAD WITH EGG NOG GLAZE by Nancy C, adapted from Allrecipes.com

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 2 teaspoons rum flavored extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (I used unbleached flour)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Grease and flour one 9 x 5 inch loaf pan or three 3 x 5 inch mini loaf pans; set aside.

In large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together. Add in eggs, mixing well, and then the eggnog, rum extract, and vanilla extract; blend well.

In medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Add to eggnog mixture in the large bowl and stir just enough to moisten; pour into prepared loaf pan (or mini loaf pans). 

Bake in 9 x 5″ loaf pan for 50 to 55 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean; or bake 3 x 5″ loaves for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool loaf or loaves for 10 minutes and remove from pan to a wire rack.

Cool completely and then add the glaze (if you don’t want to use a glaze, you can sprinkle the loaf or loaves with powdered sugar).

While loaf is cooling, make your glaze…

CREAMY EGGNOG GLAZE

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons eggnog

In small bowl, add powdered sugar and eggnog; stir until well-blended.

When loaf (or loaves) are cooled, spoon glaze over top and let drizzle down the sides; let glaze set and then serve.

Do you enjoy eggnog over the holidays? Have you used it in any recipes?
