Christmas Eggnog Bread Recipe

Eggnog Bread-this easy eggnog quick bread with a sweet eggnog glaze is a Christmas favorite. It is great for breakfast or dessert.

We drink a lot of milk at our house. We go through about four gallons a week. Caleb and Maxwell are little milk chuggers. The other day we were at the store and Caleb spotted the eggnog.He told Maxwell it is Santa’s special milk because stores only have it at Christmas time. The boys begged to get some so I picked up a half gallon. When we got home, I poured them a little glass and decided I would do some baking with “Santa’s special milk.” I made a loaf of Eggnog Bread with a sweet eggnog glaze and I think Santa would approve. This easy Eggnog Bread isthe perfect holiday treat.

To be honest, I am not really a big eggnog person. I love the flavor, but I don’t like to drink it. That is why eggnog baked goods are perfect for me. I get all of the delicious flavor in a special baked treat!

Easy Eggnog Quickbread Recipe

There is eggnog in the bread which gives the bread tons of flavor and it also keeps it super moist. I also add in nutmeg, vanilla, and rum extract.

Because it’s the holidays, I added a sweet eggnog glaze. The glaze makes the bread extra beautiful and extra festive! We go all out during the holiday months.

This easy eggnog quick bread is great for breakfast, snack time, or dessert. And guess what? I think the bread is even better on the second day so you can make it in advance. It is great to have around to serve to friends that might stop by or guests that are staying with you. It would also make a great gift, mini eggnog loaves would be so adorable!

I'm Maria and my husband is Josh. We share a love of cooking, baking, and entertaining. We enjoy creating recipes that are simple, fresh, and family friendly. We love sitting around the table with good food, good conversation, and good friends and family! Our kitchen is always open!When Christmas is around the corner, forget the cookies — only eggnog bread (with spiced rum glaze, YES PLEASE) will do! OK, OK — the cookies can stay, too.

SO. Christmas is but a few eves away — how do we feel about this? Are we cool as Jack Frost, or are we roasting chestnuts solely with our stress-induced body heat? For a while I was pretty chill about everything, and then I realized that I was looking at the calendar all wrong and suddenly, Christmas is not two weeks away but ONE week away, and now I’m fairly certain the reason we’re going to have a green Christmas in the upper Midwest is because of me.

Thankfully, there is still some of this eggnog bread to be had, which is made with real eggnog and spices and yes, rum, both in the bread and in the glaze, and it tastes mighty fine with some eggnog on the side. That’s just a suggestion — but a very strong one.

I know I promised you guys on Instagram last week that I would post this quick bread recipe on the blog on Monday, but alas, I am a liar. Instead, I shared a recipe for yummy Beef Wellington, though, so I hope you’ll forgive — and if you’re still unsure of whether we can be back on good terms, I put extra spiced rum glaze on this bread, JUST FOR YOU. As a peace offering. Please accept.

Eggnog Bread And Butter Pudding

This eggnog bread starts with a base of classic eggnog spices — cinnamon and nutmeg. Then you add in your eggnog and a splash or two of rum (or rum extract, if you prefer!). I used spiced rum in my recipe but I suspect white rum or even bourbon works, too.

To top it all off, I whipped up a glaze of even more eggnog and rum, then sprinkled a few dashes of nutmeg on top. MERRY MERRY.

The end result is a perfectly sweet, soft and flavorful quick bread recipe that is so festive, you’ll feel like the jolly old elf him/herself.

Eggnog Bread With Eggnog Glaze

If you’ve never made a quick bread before, or if you’ve made plenty but they just never turn out all that great, good news! I have tips for you:

Eggnog

1. Pay attention to the loaf pan size called for in the recipe. It’s important, because the cup capacity differs greatly from pan to pan, and that means if you’re not careful, you could end up with a shallow loaf or an overflowing mess. I have a 9×5-inch loaf pan, an 8-1/2×4-1/2-inch loaf pan (which I used in this recipe) and an 8×4-inch loaf pan.

2. Make a parchment paper sling to help keep your bread from sticking to the bottom of the loaf pan, but also to help lift the bread out of the pan to cool so you don’t have to do that awkward holding-the-pan-in-one-oven-mitt-hand-while-turning-the-bread-upside-down-into-the-other-oven-mitt-hand thing. YOU KNOW.

3. Grease ONLY THE BOTTOM of the pan. Do not spray the sides. Don’t you do it. This will help prevent that weird lip from forming on the top edges of the loaf.

4. Don’t be discouraged by that crack that forms in the top of your bread after baking! This is just a characteristic of quick breads. That’s what glaze is for.

Most of all, though, have fun with this recipe! Change up the booze, double up the glaze (I MEAN), maybe even make it into muffins. The point here is that we enjoy the process as much as the end result. After all, even when the holidays are stressful, there is still joy to be found.

Growing up, my grandmother bought eggnog every Christmas. And although it was always a bit too thick for my taste (I diluted it with milk to remedy that!), I’ve always loved the pairing of warm spices and sweetness in a glass of the holiday beverage.

Now that I’m an adult, I love adding a splash of eggnog to my coffee in the morning, and of course I adore making eggnog desserts every holiday season.

For instance, I love making an easy eggnog bundt cake using a doctored-up cake mix. And this eggnog ice cream pie is a cool and creamy treat. And look at how lovely this eggnog custard pie is! And of course, this eggnog pound cake is a dream come true.

I’ve even been known to make eggnog french toast casserole for a Christmas morning breakfast, and eggnog blondies are the perfect addition to a holiday cookie tray.

Quickbreads are one of my favorite things to make, because they’re so versatile. Since they aren’t yeast breads, there’s no rising time.

Not only that, but quickbreads can pull double duty as breakfast, dessert, snack, or handmade gift. Some of my favorite Christmas quickbreads are this holiday pistachio bread and this cranberry cream cheese bread.

You can serve the slices plain, or add them to a cookie tray for some variety. You can top the bread with an eggnog glaze if desired, or serve it with a dollop of whipped cream.

You could also warm the slices and top them with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce, if you’re feeling fancy.
