Best 7 Glorious Eggnog Bread Recipes

Eggnog bread is a delightful seasonal treat that combines the flavors of eggnog and freshly baked bread. Its preparation begins by preheating the oven to 325°F (163°C) and preparing a loaf pan. The batter is created by whisking together eggnog, granulated sugar, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, dry ingredients like all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and salt are combined. The wet and dry ingredients are then carefully mixed until just combined to avoid overmixing. The batter is poured into the prepared loaf pan and baked for approximately 65-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

This recipe also includes two variations for eggnog bread: a streusel topping and a cream cheese glaze. The streusel topping is made from brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and cold unsalted butter, providing a crunchy and sweet finish to the bread. The cream cheese glaze is a mixture of cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, adding a rich and creamy layer to the bread. With its eggnog-infused flavor and optional toppings, this eggnog bread is a perfect indulgence for the holiday season or any special occasion.

Categories     Dessert     Snack

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup unsalted butter ((1/2 stick), at room temperature)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour (or whole wheat pastry flour, or substitute additional all-purpose flour)
1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup prepared eggnog ((I used Trader Joe's light eggnog))
1 tablespoon rum (or brandy or bourbon (or substitute an additional tablespoon eggnog))
1/2 cup powdered sugar ((4 ounces))
1 1/2 tablespoons rum (or brandy or bourbon (whichever you used in the loaf), or eggnog)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan, then line it with parchment paper so that some of the paper hangs out the sides like handles. Lightly grease the pan once more, then set it aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute and scraping down the bowl after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.
  • With the mixer running on low speed, add one-third of the flour mixture, then half of the eggnog and all of the rum, the next one-third of the flour mixture, the remaining half of the eggnog, then the final one-third of the flour. Fully incorporate the ingredients between additions before adding the next. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake the eggnog bread until pale golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan by lifting with the parchment handles. Place on a cooling rack.
  • When the loaf is mostly cooled but still warm to the touch, whisk together the glaze ingredients (powdered sugar and rum/brandy/bourbon or eggnog) in a small bowl.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the loaf, then allow the loaf to stand until the glaze is set and dry. Slice and serve.

CHRISTMAS EGGNOG BREAD



Christmas Eggnog Bread image

This came from a friend. I made this as written and it turns out beautifully every time. I always include a loaf of this bread in my Christmas crates that we make up for my family. I have included 3 variations I came up with. We love this bread toasted. Yes...toasted. What can possibly be wrong about toasted cake? Try it...you just might like it. Try it for breakfast instead of regular toast. This makes a large loaf and freezes beautifully.
