Ingredients

For the bread:

  • ⅓ cup dairy-free butter, melted (recommend Country Crock plant butter sticks)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup prepared dairy-free eggnog (storebought - recommend Planet Oat - or homemade)
  • 1 tbsp brandy (optional; use eggnog as alternative)

For the glaze:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp dairy-free eggnog or brandy (see notes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted dairy-free butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  3. In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until combined.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, then pour in the eggnog and brandy (if using). Stir until combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees F on the center rack for 40-50 minutes, or until the bread is cooked through and a toothpick pulls clean from the center.
  6. Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  7. When the bread has cooled, prepare the glaze: mix together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of the eggnog or brandy. If the glaze is too thick, add more eggnog or brandy teaspoon by teaspoon until it reaches the right consistency. When the glaze is the right consistency (like a thick syrup), drizzle it over the bread. Let sit for 10 minutes to set, then serve.

Recipe Notes

  • If using store-bought dairy free eggnog, I recommend Planet Oat Oat Nog. It is thick and creamy and works very well in this recipe.
  • Using brandy in the glaze will result in a strong boozy flavored topping that adults might love, but may not be a good option if serving to kiddos. Either brandy or eggnog works for the glaze, so use what you prefer!
