The best, easy frosted eggnog loaf
Christmas time is here, and it’s time to spice up your holiday sweet loaf! This deliciously wonderful eggnog loaf is the perfect holiday dessert. Eggnog, cinnamon and coconut oil are blended together in this fabulous loaf all topped with a creamy eggnog glaze. This recipe has only 9 ingredients, too! It is so good, so easy to make, and perfect for the holidays.
Merry Christmas everyone! I will be taking a little Christmas hiatus on the blog until next year, but of course I had to post one last delicious and seasonal dessert before I do!
This fabulous rich and delicious frosted eggnog bread is just the right dessert for the holidays. It is simple to make and uses under 10 ingredients, several or many of which you might already have in your pantry.
This deliciously festive loaf was inspired by my amazing mom, again! It’s funny because she doesn’t actually like eggnog, but she loves and supports me and always sends me recipe inspiration, even if she doesn’t like something but knows I do! She sent me an eggnog inspiration and I thought – definitely an eggnog loaf! It’s not only a great dessert for Christmas day or Christmas Eve, but it is so good with morning coffee or tea, or for a sweet snack throughout the day!
Enjoy this delicious loaf, have a wonderful Christmas or holiday, and I will have more fabulous recipes next year!
Wishing you good health and prosperity in 2021,

The best, easy frosted eggnog loaf
Equipment
- prepared loaf pan: lined with parchment paper or foil
- stand mixer (optional)
Ingredients
Eggnog Loaf
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 cup eggnog
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Eggnog Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons eggnog
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Make the eggnog loaf
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and prepare a loaf pan (see notes). Add all of the dry ingredients into a large bowl or stand mixer - the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon - and mix until combined. Then add the two eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla and mix well until a wet batter forms.
- Add the batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes. Use the toothpick test at 50 minutes and then every 5 minutes after that to make sure it is done but not over baked. You'll know when the loaf is done when your toothpick comes out clean with no wet batter. After is is done, remove the loaf from the pan and let the loaf cool for about 15 minutes.
Make the eggnog glaze
- While the loaf is cooling make the eggnog glaze. Mix all of the ingredients together - powdered sugar, eggnog and vanilla - together until combined and a slightly thick but still runny, opaque glaze forms. If you like a thinner glaze you can add more eggnog and if you prefer a thicker glaze, add a bit more powdered sugar.
- Pour the glaze all over the eggnog loaf, making sure you cover the whole surface and let it drip down over the sides. Cut into generous slices and enjoy!
