Homemade Eggnog Muffins
These eggnog muffins are so soft and fluffy and glazed with a delicious eggnog icing.
Around the holidays I love to use eggnog in holiday inspired recipes like eggnog french toast and my favorite cranberry eggnog bread.
Baking with eggnog makes these muffins incredibly moist and even if you don’t like eggnog by itself you will love these!
I love making these for holiday breakfasts or a sweet treat to enjoy with my coffee!
Ingredients needed
- All purpose flour
- Sugar: I used cane sugar, but you can use regular sugar
- Powdered sugar: for making the glaze
- Eggnog: this will work with regular or non dairy eggnog
- Baking powder
- Vanilla extract
- Unsalted butter
- Spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt
How to make eggnog muffins
Step 1: Whisk together the all purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, eggnog, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
Step 3: Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined with a rubber spatula.
Step 4: Line a muffin tin with parchment paper muffin liners.
Joy’s Tip
I love using parchment paper muffin liners when making muffins. Nothing will stick to them and no cooking spray is needed!
Distribute the batter evenly into 12 muffin cups.
Step 5: Bake the eggnog muffins at 350 degrees for 17-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 6: Let the muffins cool completely before glazing.
To make the eggnog glaze, combine the eggnog and powdered sugar until it forms a thick drippy icing.
Once the muffins have cooled, glaze the tops with the eggnog icing.
The icing really brings out the eggnog flavor of the muffins and is seriously delicious!
I first made these muffins about after my third son was born.
I just couldn’t stay out of the kitchen and wanted to make a fun holiday sweet to enjoy with my family.
Make these for your family this Christmas season!
