Eggnog Muffins

One of my favorite parts about the holiday season is eggnog! Smooth and creamy and festive. ย Even better if you can find a way to start the day with eggnog, like these Eggnog Muffins. ย 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. ย 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.
