I just finished my second batch, and I made some adjustments. I make lots of mini loaves of different kinds of quick breads, so I doubled this recipe and baked it in 4 mini loaf pans. I used 2 cups of eggnog, 3/4 cup applesauce, omitted the oil, used 1/2 cup Splenda for the sugar, and 1/2 cup egg substitute. I doubled all the dry ingredients, of course. I didn't use any nuts but it wouldn't change much. For the topping, I just sprinkled 1-2 T Splenda brown sugar on top. No butter or flour. My family loves it, and the nutritional content per 1/8th mini loaf (40 grams) is as follows:

I made this last year with leftover eggnog and loved it so much, I froze 3/4 cup portions of eggnog to make it later. I also plan to make it for New Year's!

I had leftover eggnog from Christmas and this recipe came just in time. I baked this cake today but replaced the unsweetened applsauce with plain yogurt and it came out moist and tasty. Eggnog lovers' should like this recipe!
