These Eggnog Quick Bread has an nutmeg eggnog base and is covered in a rum flavored glaze made as mini loaves to giveaway.

Eggnog Quick Bread sliced and cascading down.

My mother and I’s version of bread is what most people would call cake. 🙂

As that point became clear when people made my Almond Joy Bread.

I was told bread was used loosely.

Live a little people. 😛

Since we are always talking about them and how one of these years my mom is going to write down some of the recipes for me and never does I decided that I would suggest strongly that we bake while I was visiting.

My mom and me.

So we baked three things I have wanted to bake and more importantly get the recipe for!

I love this Eggnog Quick Bread.

The glaze gets hard (not like outside of chewy bread break your teeth kind of hard) and kind of seals the moisture in.

We went mini with the loaves as we were dividing them up…as I needed to take at least one home to take pictures of.

Ingredients for the quick bread.

And for some reason my mother was insisting on keeping two herself.

Then I tasted them and understood why she was hoarding.

And p.s. because someone will ask…no I don’t know how it will turn out if you use real rum.

The recipe was submitted by a man of the cloth so I don’t think he was hitting up the rum. 🙂

And as always it’s a great day to order my cookbook.

Ingredients

  • For the Bread:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg (a little more if using fresh)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup Egg Nog
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp. rum extract
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 TBSP unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp. rum extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.

Grease a 9-x-5-x-3-inch loaf pan or use mini loaf pans (we got 4) with baking spray.

In a large bowl add together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg and mix. Form a well in the middle of the dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl mix together the egg, butter, egg nog, and extracts. Whisk until fully combined and then pour into the center of the well.

Mix until all the ingredients are moistened but it can still be lumpy.

Bake for 25-20 minutes or until a knife comes out clean for smaller loaves. Large loaf will bake 45-50 minutes.

Cool on a wire rack.

While bread is cooling make glaze.

In a small saucepan combine the ingredients for the glaze and heat over medium-low heat until the sugar has completely dissolved.

Poke a few holes into the bread using a knife or wooden skewer.

Brush glaze first on top of bread and then on the sides. Leave until glaze hardens up then wrap in plastic wrap.

  8. Love it! The bread looks delish but baking with mama that is what makes it real and cherished. Looking forward to giving this a go with my boys. They adore eggnog and bread. Total win!

  12. I made this a few days ago with my kiddos and WOW!! It came together quickly and tasted great!! Even my 13 yr old, who is super picky with her “breads” could not get enough of it. I used Silk eggnog, since that was what I had on hand, and raw sugar. The bread was so moist and flavorful. I can see me making this in the future quit a few times 🙂

    Thanks for sharing.

  14. This bread is ridiculous (in the best possible way)! Gave as holiday gifts to approx. 40 neighbors and friends. Nearly half of them went out of their way to send an e-mail, make a phone call, or simply yell down the street to me that this bread was “Crazy Good”, “Best quick bread ever” and “Holy Crap that bread was good”! I do recommend using a thinner (Meadow Gold) eggnog vs. the really thick, wanna’ pour it in a glass and drink it right now eggnog (Royal Crest). Great result!

  15. Love this recipe! It was a hit with the family and I’ve made up mini loaves for friends and family for christmas. The only thing I did different was use a powdered sugar glaze recipe of 1 cup powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons eggnog, and 1 teaspoon rum extract. I liked the look of having a glaze that you could see. Thanks again!

  16. This is so delicious! I had never heard of eggnog bread before, but I Iiked the idea that it calls for rum extract instead of alcohol. I made several batches of mini loaves and gave them as Christmas gifts. I even bought the Wilton mini loaf pans from Walmart.com (not available in the local stores) which allowed me to make 4 mini loaves at a time. With 2 pans I was able to make 8 by doubling the recipe. The only thing I did different was to cut back on the amount of glaze. The amount the recipe made was just too much, so I made one batch of the glaze to use on two batches of bread. I have received a lot of comments from friends on how much they enjoyed this bread. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe! I will definitely be using it in the future. Happy New Year!
