Eggnog Muffins

What makes these the perfect recipe is that the batter can be quickly whipped up in one bowl in, seriously, less two minutes. They are packed with a mouth watering flavor and emerge from the oven moist and fragrant. I can already tell you they’ll disappear in no time every time you make it!

Ingredients

Muffin:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup sugar
• ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
• ¼ cup light brown sugar
• 1 stick butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• ¾ cup eggnog
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon rum extract

Streusel:

• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 
2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or rub the inside with oil.
3. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, salt and light brown sugar.
4. In a separate bowl whisk together the melted butter, eggs and extracts. 
5. While stirring, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients until just incorporated.
6. To make the streusel, whisk together the flour, sugar, extract and nutmeg and pinch in the chilled butter pieces until a fine crumb forms.
7. Divide the batter evenly amongst the muffin tins and top each one with even amounts of streusel.
8. Bake for about 20 to 22 minutes or a cake tester comes out clean and the top springs back when touched.
