These glazed eggnog muffins are a holiday inspired sweet treat that makes a great breakfast or dessert!
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.
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
- baking powder
- vanilla extract
- unsalted butter
- 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.
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!
