Have you ever wondered why books are priced $.1 on Amazon?
Really? 1 cent? How bad can that book be to be priced so low. Why not just say it’s free.
It’s not like it’s going to make a difference. You’ll still have to pay the $3.99 for delivery.
I always wondered that. I still haven’t found the answer but if someone does, please enlighten me. 
A while back we went to Ollie’s to get some more coloring and activity books for our little lady bug and saw a couple of Better Homes and Garden Christmas Cooking Cookbooks. They were $3.99 and somehow, don’t know how, a few landed in my cart. For $4 I was pretty sure I can find a recipe or two in them to justify the price.
At home, somehow I ended up on Amazon and saw they were priced $.1.
Immediately I went to browse though the book and see why they were so cheap.
Except the fact that the books are close to 10 years old I did found some recipes I really want to try, like this Eggnog quick bread.
I had some Silk eggnog in the fridge and wanted to make something with it for my 12 weeks to Christmas post but didn’t know exactly what.
Cookies came first to mind, but I just made these pumpkin kissed brownie cookies. I had to make something else, just wasn’t sure what.
So I went to my bookshelf and took out all the Christmas cookbooks and magazines, something had to come out.
Cake, cookies, cupcakes, bread. Bread! I can do that. It’s not my favorite thing to bake but why not. Sounds easy and it’s great with my cup of coffee in the morning.
I followed the recipe from the book, with only 2 minor touches : I used Silk eggnog instead of dairy eggnog and Sprinkled some mini-chocolate chips on top of the cake (like you haven’t seen that coming).
I love how the bread smells, from the spices and the eggnog. The bread turned out moist, not too crumbly, like a cake, more like a muffin.
I was glad to have a slice with my cup of coffee and definitely will make it again, maybe next time I’ll add the chocolate chips to the batter, not just sprinkled on top.
A flavorful eggnog quick bread perfect for Christmas breakfast
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups (270 grams) all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder (8 grams)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) eggnog
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. If you're using paper pans (like I did) there's no need to grease them. If using ceramic or metal, grease the bottom and the sides of two 7X3 baking loaf pans.
- In a mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and sugar. Stir until combined and make a well in the middle.
- In another bowl lightly beat the two eggs and mix them with the melted butter and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ones and stir just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans, sprinkle the chocolate chips of top and bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Cool slightly in the pan before removing.
- Enjoy!

This is incredible!!!
What a beautifully delicious way to use up eggnog!
I’m baffled by the 1 cent book concept too.
You know I have never really been a fan of eggnog but I think I could get into this for some chocolate bread! YUM!
My son loves eggnog! This is his favorite time of year because of it, I think!
Can I please have a slice right now, Roxana???
Loaded with chocolate! This looks so X’mas-y!
I need to get some eggnog. I made muffins last year that were so good! This bread looks great, and anything with chocolate is better!
I hope they get egg nog in our stores soon! I love it and to put it in this bread? This bread is almost a cake, but since you’re calling it bread, I can have it for breakfast so we’re going with that! Pinned!
Gosh Roxana, you come up with the best stuff. Eggnog and chocolate in a bread? I love it!
I’ve never baked with eggnog before! I am now curious how it tastes like. This has surely piqued my interest…
Eggnog is my downfall. I just know I will love this bread, and it will make great gifts too.
I am so baking this over the weekend! What a fabulous combination! Love your recipe.
I adore eggnog so this sounds amazing!
I have a little eggnog lover in my family, so I will be making this bread for him as soon as the eggnog shows up in the store;-) I just picked up a bottle of eggnog extract and can’t wait to try it, I’m thinking vanilla and eggnog extract together in your bread would be good?!
This looks great!! I love egg nog! We were on the same wave length this week! I would for you to check out my Egg Nog Pound Cake! I have booked marked this as I think it will be a great addition to my Christmas Baking list!
This looks delicious. Great flavor combination.
I’ve never been a huge fan of Eggnog but my brother loves it! I bet if I were to make it and take it over there that it would be gone in a heart beat!
Hi Roxana! I found you through An Edible Mosaic and wanted to let you know I have no idea either why a book would be .01! I like this recipe too and will make it for the holidays. Very nice to meet you! Your blog is wonderful.
Roxanne, I truly like this recipe. I have been trying eggnog bread recipes for a couple of days and this is the best one. Thanks for sharing. Michelle
I just visited family in Orlando and made this for them. They LOVED it!!!!!
