When I turn my calendar to December, I break out my eggnog recipes. There is just something satisfying about being under a warm blanket with a nice glass of spicy eggnog.

I wanted you to be able to easily find my family’s favorite holiday eggnog recipes right here on my blog. Look at my eggnog recipe collection, and let me know which you end up trying.

Why I love baking with eggnog:

  1. There are a variety of eggnog options that are sold in stores. If you are looking for something dairy-free, made with soy milk, flaxseed milk, coconut milk, or almond milk, you should be able to find it! These dairy-free options make cooking with food allergies so much easier.
  2. Baking with eggnog takes you to a new level of flavors that will knock your socks off. Eggnog is creamy and sweet, the perfect spiciness to leave you begging for more.
  3. I love using eggnog in dessert recipes because they turn out so elegant and delectable. Each one of these recipes also gives a fantastic presentation if you are looking for something to serve at a dinner party or potluck. You will love how simple they are to make, too!

What flour blends are best for baking with eggnog?

I have tested and used many different gluten-free flour blends over the years to make my recipes. I broke down my favorite blends and what types of recipes they work best in. This article on gluten-free flour blends has a ton of information to help you. If you have tried a blend I haven’t tested, leave a comment, and I will try to find and test that blend.

📢 Sandi says: Every gluten-free flour blend has a different starch-to-grain ratio. The brand of gluten-free flour you use will affect the moisture of the batter. If your cake batter is too runny, add more flour, and if it is too thick, add more liquids.
