Vegan Eggnog Bread

Last Updated on January 5, 2025

This Vegan Eggnog Bread is the perfect holiday treat for any family gathering.

With a delicious sweet coffee glaze, you can serve this quick bread to your guests as a breakfast, a dessert, or just as a treat with a hot beverage.

Why use eggnog in this bread?

Eggnog is a thick and creamy slightly spiced drink typically served during the holidays.

But after the holidays we usually are pretty sick of drinking eggnog, so I thought why not make something with the left overs?

My though was that eggnog can replace the milk, or in this case, the plant based milk in any recipe, and a quick bread was the right call.

This recipe is not the only way to use up left over eggnog, we also love adding it to many different recipes and even to our morning coffee!

Store bought or Homemade Eggnog?

If you are not in the mood or don’t have the time to make your own vegan eggnog, there are so many different plant based options available today.

I personally like to make my own Vegan Holiday Nog.

It is so easy to make, uses simple ingredients, and can be easily customized.

Please note that the bread will taste different each time you make it depending on the type of plant based eggnog you use.

Ingredients needed for the bread

• Flour – I used a all purpose white flour for the bread.
• Baking Soda – The baking soda helps the batter to rise.
• Baking Powder – The baking powder also helps the batter to rise. Resulting in a lighter and fluffier texture.
• Salt – Salt enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.
• Oil – I used the light and mild flavored avocado oil for this recipe. The oil replaces the butter and adds moisture to the bread.
• Sugar – My sweetener of choice is the pure cane sugar.
• Egg Substitute – I used a powdered egg substitute.
• Pure Vanilla Extract – The vanilla adds a subtle flavor of vanilla to the bread along with enhancing other flavors in the recipe.
• Eggnog – The eggnog can be a store bought vegan eggnog, or you can use a homemade eggnog for this recipe.
• Spices – The spices I added are cinnamon and nutmeg.

Ingredients needed for the coffee glaze

• Plant Based Milk – I used an unsweetened vanilla almond milk in the recipe.
• Oil – I used the mild flavored avocado oil for the glaze. This helps to keep the glaze more spreadable and keeping it from becoming to hard.
• Powdered Sugar – This sugar is so fine that it dissolves quickly and so it creates a smooth texture for the glaze.
• Brewed Coffee – Adding coffee helps to enhance the flavors of the bread and pairs well with eggnog.

How to make a Vegan Eggnog Bread

Preheat the oven to 375° F.

Grease a 9×5 inch glass loaf pan, set aside.

In a small bowl mix the powdered egg substitute together and set aside.

Next in a medium sized mixing bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and salt.

Continue by adding the vanilla, eggnog, and the egg substitute, stirring until well combined.

Pour the mixed batter into the greased loaf pan.

Place into the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once the bread is done, remove from the oven and place onto a cooling rack until completely cool.

Run a knife along the sides to remove the loaf from the pan. ( I had a hard time removing my loaf from the pan, I did need to pry under the loaf to remove. )

How to make the coffee glaze for the bread

Optional

In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, oil, brewed coffee, and plant based milk.

Pour and spread the icing over the loaf.

Cut and serve the bread immediately or wait for the icing to become firm.

Enjoy!
