Eggnog. Do you love it or hate it? I for one used to hate eggnog. It was just so thick and didn’t appeal to me. But then I made these eggnog cookies a few years ago and loved them! They became my favorite cookie on the blog. My son is obsessed with eggnog and looks for it every year at the grocery store. So over the last couple of years I have learned to love eggnog. Especially when you bake with it. It can turn an eggnog hater into a lover like me!
This eggnog quick bread recipe though. PERFECTION! You will not find a better recipe for eggnog bread out there. I guarantee it. I was blown away by how amazing it baked and how moist and perfect it was. My hubby who does not like eggnog at all loved this bread. But the best part is that it is so easy to throw together. It took me a total of maybe 5 minutes to mix it into the bowl and get it in the oven. We had a delicious baked eggnog bread ready in no time at all!
So the question is… was this approved by my eggnog obsessed seven year old? He came home from school and had eaten two slices before I even had known it! He loved this bread! And he said that the favorite part was the glaze on top. This bread was perfect. I know that if you love eggnog then you will love this bread!

I love cooking with eggnog but not so much drinking it. It has to have a lot of alcohol in there for me to drink it. 🙂 I love your bread!
I agree! It is harder to drink but I love baking with it. 🙂
Loved your egg nog cookies…they went on my neighbor plates last year…..cant wait to try this egg nog bread…..!,,,
Can I leave out the rum extract
Yes. The rum extract is just added flavor like vanilla. It makes the bread taste really good!
It doesn’t mention what size pan. Is it 8″ or 9″? Thank you.
I used a 9×5 inch loaf pan. 🙂
Yum! I’ll definitely have to add this bread into my holiday baking this year – thanks for sharing 🙂
I made this bread today. Wow, just delicious. I will be making this again when eggnog is available. Thanks for the recipe.
Should the Eggnog Bread be refrigerated ?
Do you think dairy-free eggnog would work just as well?
I am not 100% sure but I think it would be ok! 🙂
Do you think it would ship well?
Will butter instead of margarine make a big difference?
Can I use butter instead of margarine?
Can I use butter instead of margarine?
Yes, that will still work for this recipe.
Baked in 9×5 loaf pan 55mins. Looked golden brown on top, let cool and when I cut in it was completely raw in the center 🙁 Oven up to temp and working correctly. This definitely needs longer in the oven, minimum 60mins for a standard loaf.
