Servings: 18 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup eggnog
- ½ cup butter, melted and cooled slightly 1 stick
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons rum extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray three 5x3x2-inch mini baking pans with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, mix the eggnog, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and rum extract until thoroughly combined. Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter between the three baking pans. If using aluminum foil pans, place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Allow loaves to cool for 10-15 minutes before removing them from loaf pans to cool completely.
Notes
- I prefer to use full-fat eggnog for this recipe. It tastes better and yields a better texture/crumb, and helps keep the loaves moist and not dry.
- Store your bread at room temperature in an airtight container or zip-top bag for up to three to four days. For more extended storage, place your loaf in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to five to seven days.
- You can add a simple eggnog glaze to your loaves! Mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of eggnog, depending on how thick you like your glaze.
- This recipe freezes beautifully! However, it's best to freeze UNGLAZED loaves and glaze them once they have thawed if you want them glazed. Once your loaves have cooled completely, wrap them in a layer of plastic wrap, then a layer of aluminum foil. Place your loaves into a freezer-safe airtight container or zip-top bag and freeze for up to three months. Once you're ready to enjoy them, allow them to thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature on the counter.
