Christmas Quick Bread

We LOVE a sweet, non-yeast (quick bread) recipe – especially if it’s filled with one of our favorite holiday flavors. That’s right – we made an eggnog bread using one of our favorite holiday drinks, and the result was AMAZING!!]

We know not everyone loves Eggnog, but if you love hints of nutmeg and buttery bread then you’ll love this recipe. Not to mention, it has a super tasty eggnog-flavored glaze that complements the eggnog in the bread perfectly!

As with all quick breads, there is no rise time required – so it’s ready to enjoy in only about 40 minutes! Just mix and bake!

You can always use that leftover eggnog to make some Eggnog Snickerdoodles or an Eggnog Milkshake while you’re at it.
