Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup brown sugar

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp nutmeg

½ tsp cinnamon

½ tsp salt

1 cup eggnog

½ cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together eggnog, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing for a soft, tender crumb. Fold in pecans if using.

Bake: Pour the batter into the loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool & Serve: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use Quality Eggnog: A rich, creamy eggnog enhances both flavor and texture.

Customize: Swap pecans for walnuts, cranberries, or white chocolate chips.

Extra Spice: Add a pinch of cloves or allspice for deeper holiday warmth.

Gluten-Free Option: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.

Storage: Wrap tightly and store at room temperature up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
