Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 cup (1 stick) Unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
  • 0.75 cup Packed light brown sugar
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Eggnog
  • 1.5 cups (about 3 medium) Mashed ripe bananas
Glaze Ingredients
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 2-4 tablespoons Eggnog Add more for desired consistency

Equipment

  • 9x5 inch loaf pan
  • Mixing bowls (large and medium)
  • Whisk
  • Wooden skewer

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggnog and mashed bananas.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the banana-eggnog mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the bread is cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and eggnog until smooth. Add more eggnog, one tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  9. Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. You can also add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter for added texture.
