- Can I use real rum instead of rum extract?
Yes! You can replace the rum extract with 1–2 tablespoons of dark or spiced rum for a stronger flavor (optional for adults). - Can I make this recipe into muffins?
Absolutely pour the batter into a muffin tin and bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and set. - How do I know when my bread is done?
A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs not wet batter. - Can I use store-bought or homemade eggnog?
Either works! Homemade eggnog adds a richer taste, but store-bought makes it simple and just as delicious.
