Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups eggnog
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a medium bowl, combine the eggnog, melted butter, large egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
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 muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the cooled muffins with powdered sugar for a festive touch. Serve and enjoy!
