No one drinks egg nog but me, I think if I made these muffins, we’d all win! I’d get my egg nog and the family would get some fantastic muffins!

Yum! Those look SO good and I’m not even a fan of eggnog!
I love muffins and eggnog but never ate them together. They look wonderful.
We may have met by chance…but we become friends by choice.

I just pulled these muffins out of the oven & my kids (and I!) waited very impatiently for them to cool down enough for us to eat.
These are one of the best muffins I have ever tried & hands down the most successful egg nog recipe I have ever made. They’re moist & fluffy & they actually TASTE like egg nog!! Other recipes I have tried taste like nutmeg & that’s it, but these are incredible. I will be making these every Winter (the recipe is already safely tucked away in my recipe box). Thank you so much for the delicious recipe! Wish I had found it sooner! 😉
That is so sweet Eden. Thanks so much for sharing your sweet story with me. 🙂
Thank you for sharing this recipe, Sheryl! These are crazy good…..moist and delicious! Best muffins ever!
Yay Marcia! Thanks so much for leaving such a sweet comment. I hope you had a Merry Christmas!
I don’t understand the 2 tablespoons of butter divided…..do I put that in the melted butter?
Hi Ashley, I think I might have added the 2 tablespoons to the batter portion and then decided to separate the batter ingredients from the streusel ingredients so the 2 tablespoons of butter was on the post twice. I removed the first one. Thanks for catching the error! ♥
So many people confuse cupcakes with muffins. These have the texture of a true muffin. We drink light eggnog so that is what I used. Two bowls and a total of ten minutes to prepare. Idiot proof and gorgeous presentation at the table. The whole family loved them. Next time I may add blueberries or raspberries. The batter is thick enough so they won’t settle to the bottom. Thank you.
Thank You Susan! I’m glad you liked the recipe.
