Cranberry Almond Eggnog Bread Recipe

Eggnog has been a traditional part of holiday festivities in America since the 18th century. Eggnog is a sweetened beverage that is traditionally made with milk or cream, sugar, and whipped eggs (which gives it a frothy texture). It is often topped with a bit of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin spice.  

This Cranberry Almond Eggnog Bread is the perfect bread to set out during the holidays.  Rich and delicious, it’s easy to make and something your guests will enjoy with coffee.  

This product presentation was made with AAWP plugin.

Tools / equipment needed

Loaf pan – You can use a traditional metal loaf pan sprayed with olive oil. But, it is really so much easier to use a silicone loaf pan. the Cranberry Almond Eggnog Bread will not stick at all if you bake in silicone.

Eggnog – Of course, you will need eggnog. You can buy it ready-made at the grocery store. Or, you can start with an eggnog mix and make it at home.

Ginger grater – If you are going to grate fresh ginger over your eggnog, you’ll want a ginger grater. Can I just say “yum”?

Since we are all HUGE fans of eggnog, it’s very important that I make this recipe as soon as I bring the eggnog into the house.  If I just put the quart of eggnog into the refrigerator and intend to make the recipe later, I’ll return in an hour and the eggnog will all be gone.

Preparing the batter

Spoon the batter into the greased loaf pans. You can add a few cranberries on top to give it an extra flare if you like. 

Baking the eggnog bread loaves

Check for doneness with a toothpick. When it comes out clean, your loaves are ready.

This recipe is very easy to make.  You can change the additions based on what you have in the house.  My favorites are dried cranberries and slivered almonds.

You can substitute raisins, chopped cherries or dried cherries for the cranberries if you prefer. Walnuts or pecans work as well as almonds if that’s what you have on hand.

  6. I love eggnog but my husband does not, so I can never finish a half gallon myself. This sounds like a great way for me to be able to use it all. :)

  7. I think almost everyone in my house would love this bread.  I adore eggnog, but try to only buy it once or twice during the season to keep my waistline in check.

  8. The same thing happens at my house with the eggnog! It disappears fast. I didn't know Dec. 24 was National EggNog day but it makes total sense! This looks yummy.

  9. This looks wonderful. I made an eggnog braid and eggnog sugar cookies last Christmas, but sadly haven't had a chance to do much baking with eggnog this year.
