Have you ever tried baking with eggnog? I really enjoy baking with eggnog around the holidays. If you’ve been reading my blog, you know that baking is not really my thing…until we start to approach the holidays! Then a lot more baked goods start to appear on the blog. When you taste this Blueberry Banana Streusel Eggnog Bread, you’ll understand why! It’s such a yummy treat!

I used Hood® Vanilla Eggnog for this Blueberry Banana Streusel Eggnog Bread. I’m a huge fan of Hood products. They were founded in the mid 1800’s in Charlestown, Massachusetts, and they’re the number-one dairy brand in New England. I’ve lived in the area for my entire married life, and I’ve been cooking with Hood products since almost the beginning. We’re talking twenty five plus years! I tried other brands way back when, but I always came back to Hood. Now I don’t ever buy anything else. My loyalty comes with good reason…they deliver a quality product every single time!

Their rich and creamy Golden Eggnog is their mainstay, and it’s been a holiday favorite for over 50 years. But now they have several other flavors, including Light Eggnog which has 55% less fat than traditional eggnog. I think the Vanilla is my favorite! But no matter which flavor you choose, with its extra creamy milk, sugared yolks and spices, Hood is always a holiday favorite, both as a drink or in your holiday eggnog recipes. But it’s only available for a limited time, so don’t miss out. Add Hood Eggnog to your holiday shopping list!

Speaking of ways to enjoy eggnog, I’ve come up with a few ways you might consider using your leftover eggnog!

HOW TO MAKE BLUEBERRY BANANA STREUSEL EGGNOG BREAD

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray your bread pan with cooking spray and dust with flour.

Make the streusel topping. Combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; then add the butter. Mix together with your hands until it looks like coarse crumbs, and then set aside.

Using a stand mixer, beat the eggs. Then add the sugar, Hood Vanilla Eggnog, vegetable oil, mashed banana, and vanilla. Continue to beat on medium to combine.

Mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg in a separate bowl. Add to the above mixture and stir with a spoon until moist.

If you want to avoid that blue batter that you often get with frozen blueberries, here’s a helpful hint. Leave your blueberries in the freezer until you’re ready to add them. Then add a tablespoon or two of flour to coat them before adding them to the batter. Don’t over mix! Once you see the beginnings of blue streaks, stop mixing.

Add the batter to your loaf pan, then top with the streusel topping.

Eggnog bread smells so good while it’s baking!

Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick can be inserted cleanly. Cool before removing from pan.

While your Blueberry Banana Streusel Eggnog Bread is baking, make your eggnog glaze.

For the glaze, mix together powdered sugar, Hood Vanilla Eggnog, vanilla, and ground nutmeg using a stand mixer. If you would like to thin the glaze, add extra eggnog a little at a time.

Personally, I like my glaze a little thicker.

Spoon glaze over the top of the bread, allowing glaze to drip down the sides.

Doesn’t that look delicious?!  This Blueberry Banana Streusel Eggnog Bread is perfect for a holiday breakfast or brunch. It disappeared very quickly at our house…it never even made it to breakfast!
