Ingredients

Muffin

  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup eggnog, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted, cooled slightly
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Streusel Topping

Eggnog Glaze

  • 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons eggnog

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.

Muffins

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, butter, and vanilla.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Evenly distribute the batter to each lined muffin tin cup. The batter should fill the cups generously but not overflow the liners.

Streusel Topping

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Add the melted butter to the flour mixture. Mix with a fork until the mixture is combined.
  • Add about a tablespoon of streusel topping to each muffin.
  • Bake muffins for 22-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, but a few crumbs are okay.
  • Allow the muffins to cool completely.

Glaze

  • In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons eggnog until smooth. Add more eggnog until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Drizzle glaze over cooled muffins.
