Eggnog Cranberry Bread

By nanasally4

Words cannot begin to describe how much I love eggnog. The holiday season hasn’t begun until I chug a glass of the stuff. I know it’s super bad for you, but hey, Christmas only comes once a year, right?

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbs baking powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup eggnog
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1 tsp almond extract
• 1 cup coarsely chopped frozen cranberries
• 2 Tbs granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp. butter, slightly softened
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans, optional

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 4 mini loaf pans.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder; set aside.

3. In a large bowl, mix eggs, sugar, eggnog, butter and almond extract. Mix in dry ingredients just until combined. Toss cranberries with 2 T. sugar and then stir into batter.

4. Prepare streusel topping: Combine topping ingredients using a pastry cutter (or two knives) until crumbly.

5. Fill prepared loaf pans until about 1/2 – 2/3 of the way full (this batter rises a lot!). Top with streusel topping. Bake 40-50 minutes, or until the breads test done with a toothpick inserted in the center coming out clean.

Yum. Yummy, yum, yum! I still haven’t had a chance to make this quite yet (perhaps this weekend?) but the recipe looks delish — I love both eggnog and cranberries (and, um, carbs!) so this is right up my alley.

I love that you made it into mini loaves. I bet it would be delicious toasted with a little butter. Glad you liked it

This looks great. For some reason, I do okay with breads and not real cake or at least I can make banana bread. I think I’d like to try this!

This bread is delicious! I added more eggnog and more cranberries;) plus my own streusel topping. A big hit with the neighbors!

So glad to hear!

I just made this. I added a full cup of eggnog instead of 3/4 cup and there was no eggnog taste to them after it baked. It just tasted like bread with cranberries in it, not really any flavor to it.

I’m sorry about this. I hope you still enjoyed the bread, though. :-\
