Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare mini loaf pans by greasing with butter or oil and dusting with flour.
  2. Cream together the room temperature salted butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the instant vanilla pudding, eggnog, eggs, and rum extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg, then gradually add to the wet ingredients.
  5. Divide the batter among the mini loaf pans, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Combine cubed butter, flour, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl; mix until crumbly for the topping.
  7. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter in each pan.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick around 35 minutes.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
