Eggnog Muffins

“Delight in the festive spirit with Eggnog Muffins, a seasonal treat that captures the warm and comforting essence of holiday eggnog in a delightful baked form.”

While I appreciate the taste of eggnog, I don’t consume it frequently due to its richness. However, when it comes to Eggnog Crumble Muffins, it’s a different story! These muffins encapsulate the quintessential seasonal flavor, featuring a moist and tender crumb that’s ideal for a weekend breakfast or holiday brunch. The sweet, buttery crumble topping and a drizzle of eggnog glaze add the perfect finishing touches.

This recipe is a holiday twist on my favorite muffin recipe. If you’ve tried our Better Than Starbucks Blueberry Muffins, Fresh Strawberry Buttermilk Muffins, or Easy Peach Crumble Muffins, you’ll recognize the base—it’s the same easy, one-bowl muffin recipe that comes together in minutes!

For these Eggnog Crumble Muffins, I swapped out some of the buttermilk/yogurt for eggnog, added a touch of nutmeg, and adorned them with a delightful crumble topping. The topping is a breeze to make—just mix melted butter, flour, and sugar with a fork until you get large crumbs. Sprinkle this over the batter in the muffin pan, bake, and watch the magic unfold!

The batter creates beautifully domed muffins that fill your home with an incredible aroma as they bake. If you have anyone still in bed, the tempting scent alone will coax them out!
