eggnog muffins

These cake-like Eggnog Muffins are perfect to use up any leftover eggnog. Or just buy some more...they&#39;re worth it!

Eggnog Muffins

all-purpose flour (, spoon and leveled)

sugar

baking powder

nutmeg

eggs

eggnog

unsalted butter (, melted and cooled)

vanilla

dark rum

all-purpose flour

unsalted butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a muffin tin with paper liners; set aside.

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and nutmeg until combined.

In a larger bowl, whisk together eggs, eggnog, butter, vanilla, and rum. Add flour mixture to the egg mixture; stir just until combined (don’t over-mix!) Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each three-quarter of the way full.

Make the Streusel topping: stir together flour, sugar, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Using a pastry blender (or your hands), cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle topping over muffin batter.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into center comes out clean and the streusel is golden.

Allow muffins to cool for at least 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Eggnog Cranberry Muffins

all purpose flour

white sugar

butter, (melted)

almond extract

cranberries ((easiest to chop if you freeze them first))

(1/2 stick) butter, (slightly softened)

pecans ((optional))

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray 14 to 16 muffin cups with nonstick spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder; set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, eggnog, butter and almond extract. Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined. In a separate bowl, toss the chopped cranberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar and then stir into the batter.

PREPARE THE MUFFINS:

In a medium bowl, combine the topping ingredients using a pastry cutter (or two knives) until crumbly.

PREPARE THE STREUSEL TOPPING:

Fill the prepared muffin cups two-thirds full. Top each with a little of the streusel topping. Bake 18 to 22 minutes, or until the muffins test done with a toothpick inserted in the center coming out clean.

BAKE THE MUFFINS:

If you're an eggnog fan and you enjoy moist, tender-crumbed muffins topped with a mountain of buttery crumbs, you're going to flip over these delicious Eggnog Crumble Muffins!

Eggnog Crumble Muffins

butter

butter (allow to cool for 5 minutes)

buttermilk or yogurt

vanilla extract

baking soda

salt

½ cups all purpose flour

nutmeg (for garnish, if desired)

Preheat oven to 425F. Spray a 12 cup muffin baking pan generously with non-stick spray or line the pan with paper cupcake/muffin liners.

For the prep:

Prepare the crumble first by melting butter in a microwave-safe, medium-large bowl for 60-90 seconds on high power (cover the bowl with a damp paper towel before melting.)

Add the sugar and flour and stir with a fork until well-mixed and nice size crumbs form. Set aside.

For the crumble:

Whisk the melted butter with the sugar then add the eggs and stir well to combine completely. Add eggnog, buttermilk or yogurt and vanilla. Stir again until well combined.

Sprinkle the baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and salt over the top of the batter. Stir until smooth and lump-free. Add the flour, stir just until all flour is incorporated.

Scoop the batter into the 12 muffin cups and sprinkle each with one rounded tablespoon of the crumble mixture. Pat the crumble lightly to adhere it to the batter.

Wait 15 minutes before baking muffins. Immediately lower the heat to 350˚F and bake for another 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Muffins will also spring back when lightly touched on the top when done. Allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the pan then remove from pan to a cooling rack.

For the muffins:

While the muffins are cooling, make the glaze by combining the eggnog and powdered sugar in a small bowl or measuring cup. Stir with a fork or small whisk until nice and smooth. Drizzle the glaze light over the cooled or just slightly warm muffins. Garnish with a teeny sprinkle of nutmeg if desired. Serve and enjoy!
