Air Fryer Eggnog Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Air Fryer:
    • Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
    • Grease two small loaf pans that fit inside your air fryer basket or use air fryer-safe silicone molds.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, mix together the eggnog, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
    • If using, fold in the chopped pecans.
  5. Fill the Loaf Pans:
    • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans or molds, filling them about 2/3 full to allow space for the bread to rise.
  6. Air Fry the Bread:
    • Place the filled loaf pans into the air fryer basket.
    • Cook at 320°F (160°C) for 25-30 minutes. After 15 minutes, check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
  7. Cooling:
    • Allow the bread to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Glaze (Optional):

  • If desired, you can drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and eggnog over the cooled bread for an extra festive touch.

Enjoy your air-fried eggnog bread, perfect for the holiday season!
