Holiday Eggnog Bread Recipe: Holidays are here! Eggnog, no matter what variety is your favorite, is the choice drink to enjoy. Have leftover eggnog in your fridge? Have no fear and make this super easy eggnog quick bread.
Remember, quick breads = made with either baking soda or baking powder. You make and bake…quick.
Yeasted breads = breads made with yeast, which takes longer time…and patience.
Tips on Making Holiday Eggnog Bread Recipe
- Use full fat eggnog. Avoid skim or low fat eggnog
- Don’t have rum extract or cannot find it? Use the real stuff or simply omit it
- Do not want it super sweet? Reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup
- Feel free to make this into a 9-inch round cake and frost it
Not really in the eggnog mood? Then make my classic banana bread or healthy chocolate peanut butter banana bread that is low in sugar.
