#FoodieExtravaganza ~ Eggnog Banana Bread

 

Foodie Extravaganza is where we celebrate obscure food holidays or cook and bake together with the same ingredient or theme each month. This month Nicole from Cookaholic Wife invited us to get inspired by Egg Nog!

Posting day for #FoodieExtravaganza is always the first Wednesday of each month. If you are a blogger and would like to join our group and blog along with us, come join our Facebook page Foodie Extravaganza. We would love to have you! If you're a spectator looking for delicious tid-bits check out our Foodie Extravaganza Pinterest Board! Looking for our previous parties? Check them out HERE. 

This bread is super tasty - I really enjoyed this recipe!! However, I think the recipe needs to be doubled for a full size loaf pan. The original recipe says makes 2 loaves, so I halved it, but then I ended up with a pretty thin loaf, so I'd stick with the full recipe in a single pan next time! There is a hint of eggnog that comes through, and the texture is lovely, with a touch of banana. My 4-year old has had multiple helpings of this one, so it's small-child-who-really-doesn't-like-solid-food-often approved as well!

Look at all these delicious eggnog inspired treats!
