Eggnog Bread

I’ve been putting my Kitchenaid mixer through quite a workout these past few days so that we’ll have plenty of cookies to munch on and enjoy during our Christmas break!

Fresh out of the oven are these Ricotta Cheese Holiday Cookies. I also made Mexican Wedding Cookies (my favorite), Chocolate Chip Peppermint Cookies, and these Butter Brickle Cookies.

We also have a neighborhood holiday gathering that we go to every year and I’m in charge of bringing a dessert so I want to make sure to have plenty to pack up!

I’m on a baking roll! So I might as well add eggnog bread to the list, right?!

Are you an eggnog fan? We buy it every year, but I don’t drink milk at all (just preference), so it’s not that appealing to me. I do like the flavor and I’ll have a sip or two, but that’s about it.

Alan is the one that enjoys it the most or maybe it’s the brandy that he adds that he likes best!

We usually end up with a lot leftover, so instead of tossing it out adding it to baked goods sounds like better plan to me!

This recipe doesn’t call for any proofing time.  Mix the ingredients, bake, cool and add the glaze.

Delicious holiday eggnog quick bread! Use the seasonal prepared drink in this recipe and enjoy for brunch or give as gifts! #bread #quickbread #eggnog #holiday #christmasrecipe #thefoodieaffair

      I do love all the eggnog recipes I’m seeing on blogs at the moment. Love the drizzle of icing on this bread. I don’t like to drink milk either but I don’t mind an eggnog or two on Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas to you and all your family, Sandra xx

      One cup of eggnog is listed in the ingredients, but not in the directions. I am assuming that the eggnog is added to the wet ingredients?

        Hi Cassie! I would follow the suggestion from this recipe by BHG http://www.bhg.com/recipe/quickbreads/carrot-bread-with-cream-cheese-icing/ Wrap it in foil. It can be kept at room temp for up to three days or freeze up to three months. Add the glaze before serving.
