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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk the egg. Then stir in the eggnog, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 6

If desired, lightly sprinkle ground cinnamon on top of each muffin for extra flavor and a festive touch.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.
