Eggnog Mini Loaves

From tastes of home magazine - gave these as christmas good- very tasty!
Says it is diabetic friendly - BUT there is sugar in it...maybe it would work well with splenda too..
30 Servings 
Prep: 15 min. Bake: 30 min. + cooling Ingredients 
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour 
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 
2 eggs 
1 cup eggnog 
3/4 cup sugar 
1/2 cup butter, melted 
2 teaspoons vanilla extract 
2 teaspoons rum extract 
Directions In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. 
In another bowl, beat the eggs, eggnog, sugar, butter and extracts; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Pour into three greased 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
 Yield: 3 loaves. Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with commercially prepared eggnog. Nutrition Facts: 1 slice equals 105 calories, 4 g fat (2 g saturated fat), 27 mg cholesterol, 106 mg sodium, 15 g carbohydrate, trace fiber, 2 g protein.

*******MY NOTES. This is a nice , sweet but not too sweet quick bread that I make every year for gifts. All my friends and family love it. I’ve also made it boozy by adding about 2 tablespoons of Kahlua  to make 1 cup with the eggnog. I’ve used rum too, a spiced rum and skipped the rum extract. 
FYI this pairs well with the blueberry jam (kinda like a freezer jam )  recipe here http://flirtysrecipestorage.blogspot.com/2011/12/blueberry-jam.html
