Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cups eggnog
• 0.5 cups powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
• 2 tablespoons eggnog (for optional glaze)
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg (for optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the eggnog. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined after each addition. Do not overmix.

Step 6

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

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 muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the optional glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and eggnog in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins and sprinkle with a pinch of ground nutmeg.
