Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup eggnog
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 0.75 cups chopped pecans or walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, eggnog, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cranberries and chopped nuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with the back of a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve slices of Nutty Egg Nog Cranberry Bread plain, toasted with butter, or alongside a warm cup of tea or coffee.
