There are so many scrumptious holiday treats that it’s nearly impossible to pick a favorite. But, if I had to choose, eggnog would absolutely make the list. I can’t help buying a jug of it the moment it hits the grocery store shelf and I have no shame about that. It’s rich and creamy with a heavy dose of nutmeg– absolute perfection in my opinion. So, when I came across the idea of a eggnog-inspired loaf, it went straight to the top of my list. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint!

When I call this “eggnog bread” I mean it. It’s got a hefty cup and a half of eggnog, no skimping here! The addition of vanilla pudding mix results in a super moist loaf and the streusel topping adds a sweet crunch to every bite. The batter makes one very large loaf or two smaller loaves. If you end up making two loaves, you’ll want to reduce the bake time and keep an eye on the oven so you don’t over bake them.

This bread would make ideal holiday gifts, but I wouldn’t blame you for keeping it all to yourself (and a double batch is never a bad idea!). Nothing gets me in the festive mood like the smell of nutmeg and this treat is sure to make your house smell heavenly. Add the recipe to your baking list this season and you won’t be disappointed.
