Hi Tatertots and Jello friends! I’m Mique from Thirty Handmade Days (30daysblog). Jen is the sweetest, most supportive and genuine person I know and am soooo happy to be here today.
With Christmas coming up so soon — I thought you might like to try a new recipe. This Holiday Eggnog Bread is quick and delicious. My family loooooves eggnog. Me? Not so much. But this bread is moist and tastes so good. It’s the perfect compromise and would be great for Christmas breakfast.
I’m bagging up a few for neighbor gifts. I hope they like it as much as we do.
Holiday Eggnog Quick Bread
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 3/4 cups eggnog
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tsp. orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 – cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 (3.4 oz) package instant french vanilla or vanilla pudding powder
- Eggnog Glaze
- 1 – Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/4 c. eggnog (or more to your liking)
- 1 Tbsp. orange juice
- splash of vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease loaf pan or mini loaf pans.
- Beat eggs, add sugar, eggnog, butter, orange juice and vanilla extract.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
- Add the flour mixture to the batter and mix well.
- Add the instant pudding powder and blend.
- Pour into greased loaf pans.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 55 minutes for large loaf or 20-25 minutes for mini pans. Cool in pans 10 minutes.
- Remove and cool completely on a baking rack. When cool drizzle eggnog glaze on top.
- To make the glaze:
- Mix 1 cup powdered sugar, vanilla, 1/4 c. eggnog and 1 Tbsp or orange juice. Drizzle over cooled loaves. Let glaze set before storing bread.
The original recipe found at Mommy I’m Hungry calls for rum in the batter. We don’t drink at our house so I replaced rum with orange juice (love using that trick in baking!). If you want to add the rum, go for it! It also didn’t call for orange juice in the glaze but I thought it might add a oomph and I love the citrus-y flavor.
