Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Eggnog
- 0.33 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the wells with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg. Then stir in the eggnog, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
If desired, lightly sprinkle ground cinnamon on top of each muffin for extra flavor and a festive touch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature as a delicious holiday treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
