Eggnog Bread
This delicious sweet bread is coated with an eggnog flavored glaze that makes it perfect for a holiday sweet treat.
Ingredients
BREAD
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 cup eggnog (low fat is fine)
- ½ cup (1 Stick) salted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla (or eggnog extract, if you have it)
- ½ teaspoon rum extract (optional)
GLAZE
- ½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 dash freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 to 3 teaspoons eggnog
Instructions
BREAD
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom and ½ inch up the sides of a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, eggnog, melted butter, vanilla, and rum extract (if using). Add egg mixture to the flour mixture and whisk together just until moistened (batter will be lumpy).
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf to check if it's done - it should come out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on a rack.
GLAZE
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg. Whisk in enough eggnog to reach a drizzling consistency. Drizzle the cooled loaf with icing. Grate a little bit of fresh nutmeg over the icing, then let the icing set completely before serving or wrapping the loaf for storage.

Can this be made into mini loaf pans 5x3x1″ and if so what would be the temp and baking time. Thanks
I’m sure it can- I don’t know what an exact baking time would be, but you could google other mini loaf recipes to see. My guess would be 20 to 25 min.
Can i make this in a mason jar? Any hints?
No idea!
Do you use salted butter, PLUS regular salt??? or unsalted butter and salt?? I only have unsalted butter on hand, and never use salted butter. thanks.
I always have both on hand- but you can use unsalted and just up the salt to about 3/4 teaspoon.
This recipe is simply amazing!!! Made it over the weekend, with the addition of cranberries.
Made this yesterday to use up some holiday eggnog and it is delicious!
Absolutely a wonderful recipe. Baked beautifully, and smells just like a glass of eggnog. This recipe is a keeper!
This looks delicious!
This Eggnog Bread is amazing; used Silk Nog in both the batter and icing! The full recipe made (11) 3-4 inch cakes with a Wilton pan from last year. Covered each of the Gingerbread Men and Trees completely with the glaze and sprinkled with white edible glitter — thanks for a great recipe Lori!
This is a fantastic looking bread. Love anything with eggnog so this should be a hit.
Thanks for the recipe.
This looks so good. I love eggnog.
