eggnog bread recipe

A buttery crumb topping makes this Eggnog Quick Bread extra yummy! It is a perfect bread recipe for the holidays.

We have a yeast based recipe for Cranberry Eggnog Bread that we absolutely love. But I’ve been trying for several years to find a recipe for a quick eggnog bread. They were either too sweet, or too bland, or too dry. . .

After many attempts, I finally came up with a winner! This eggnog bread is nice and moist thanks to the addition of pudding mix. It gets a boost of flavor from both rum extract and nutmeg. So yummy!

I adapted the recipe from one I found at Lil Luna. Kristyn used glaze on her bread, but we preferred the crumb topping. I love that it adds a nice buttery crunch.

I like baking most of my quick breads in these mini loaf pans. They don’t take as long to bake, so the middle gets done before the crust gets too browned. Plus they are tiny and cute and the perfect size for putting in cellophane bags to share with friends.

I hope you’ll give this recipe a try, it is perfect for holiday baking!

    Hello and Happy Holidays!

    This bread is yummy! But, I too am interested in making it in a regular size loaf pan. Any idea on the cooking time?

    Thank you!

      I would try baking it at 325° for about 60 minutes. It may need more time, so just watch it closely.

      Usually when I use a full sized loaf pan for quick breads, I turn the oven to 325 degrees and bake for at least 60 minutes.

    Just made this. The flavor off the bread was good but I had the same issue with the topping separating from the bread and crumbling. . Maybe use only half of the topping so it’s not so thick.

    Looks great but I had a heck of a time getting the loaves out. The topping crumbled and separated from the rest of the loaf. Any ideas for next time? The batter was delicious.

    Can I assume this would be ok to just make in a regular size loaf pan?
    I don’t have a mini loaf pan.

      It smelled good and looked good while baking, but when I took it out of the oven the crumb topping separated from the bread, even though I used a spoon to push it down into the batter a little before baking, kinda of a big mess, but tastes good. Sounds like several others had this issue, I bake all the time, never had an issue like this with a crumb topping.

        I haven’t had that problem, but it might help to add a little more butter to the topping so it sticks together instead of being crumbly.

      I have never used coconut flour, so I have no idea. Hopefully another reader will be able to help.
