Tips and Tricks
- You could use 4 mini loaf pans if you want to give these as holiday gifts.
- If you don’t like rum flavor, you can leave the rum extract out
How Long Is It Good For?
Eggnog Bread will be good for about 3 days. Make sure to store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh for as long as possible.
You can add a day or 2 by storing it in the fridge but it will lose some of the moisture.
Can You Freeze It?
You can free eggnog bread for up to 3 months. I recommend slicing it and then freezing the individual pieces separately by wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and then placing them in a freezer ziploc bag.
When you are ready to enjoy it, you can pull the slices out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for a couple hours.

I made this bread for Christmas Day and got rave reviews from all my guests (adults as well as teens). Will be making it again.
Jen says
This recipe does not work with a standard sized loaf pan. It makes too much batter for 1 pan and not enough for 2. I do not have mini loaf pans so next time I will make muffins…and try to prevent the batter from exploding all over my oven.
