Eggnog Cranberry Bread

In this Eggnog Cranberry Bread the eggnog and cranberries are front and center, which is what I love about this recipe. It is strong in flavor and the texture is wonderful.

When I am in the mood to bake I often find myself looking for sweet quick breads. Many loaves have baked up, but this one, oh this one. Eggnog and cranberries are up front and center, which is what I love about this recipe. It is strong in flavor and the texture is wonderful.
This has to be one of the best sweet breads I have ever made. The texture, the taste, everything about it was absolutely fantastic.

To make a Eggnog Cranberry Trifle using this recipe: Cube the eggnog bread. For the filling I combined a package of instant vanilla pudding with eggnog (however much it calls for on the package, typically it is 2 cups.) After that has set for a few minutes, combine it with a container of cool whip. Mix with an electric hand mixer then layer in a trifle dish. Fantastic.

  1. This sounds so good..I am thinking of adding a bit of orange zest. I would like to know how long to bake and the temp., if making in the small foil baby bread tins.?

    1. Apologies for missing your comment. I don't know offhand as I don't make baked goods in those types of pans. I would try looking up a similar recipe online and using it as a guide for temperature and time. Check your loaves as they bake.

  2. Looks super delicious! I have cranberries in my freezer and can’t wait to try this bread.
