Eggnog Muffins

One of my favorite parts about the holiday season is eggnog! Smooth and creamy and festive.  Even better if you can find a way to start the day with eggnog, like these Eggnog Muffins.  Eggnog muffins are a perfect Christmas morning breakfast that can be made up to a week in advance and stored in a freezer bag until you're ready to eat.  No more hustling to find a complicated Christmas morning breakfast!

Eggnog muffins are also a delicious way to use up any eggnog you have leftover from the holidays, if you have (... I usually do not...).

Eggnog muffins are actually made with eggnog, giving them a rich, moist, thick texture, topped with crunchy streusel, and to-die-for eggnog glaze.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ cup + 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon rum extract

For the Eggnog Glaze

  • 1 tablespoon eggnog
  • ⅔ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

  • First, combine the flour, sugar, nutmeg, and baking powder in a large bowl, and whisk together.
  • Add ½ cup butter and mix with a pastry blender. You will want to mix until the clumps are pea-sized. Take out 1 cup of this mixture and set aside.
  • Then add the eggs, eggnog, and vanilla or rum extract. Gently whisk together. Since muffins are a quick bread and can ruin easily by too much stirring, you will want to stir until everything is just combined. There will be lumps, and that's okay.
  • Once combined, spoon mixture into a greased muffin tin., filling each cup about ⅓ full.
  • Before you put the muffins in the oven, prepare the streusel topping. Melt the extra tablespoon of butter and add it to the 1 cup of flour mixture you set aside earlier. Mix with a fork until the butter is fully combined. The mixture should be clumpy. Sprinkle the mixture on top of the muffins.
  • Bake in a 350° oven for 20-30 minutes. I start checking them at 20 minutes, and continue every 5 minutes or so until I can pull a toothpick out clean.
  • To make the eggnog glaze: combine warm melted butter and powdered sugar in a bowl and whisk together. Add in eggnog and whisk again to combine.
  • When eggnog muffins are finished baking, let set for about 10 minutes, then remove to finish cooling on a wire rack. Drizzle glaze over eggnog muffins.
  • Serve warm.
