Quick Eggnog Muffins
By
If you have eggnog on hand (especially if you made this Homemade Eggnog Recipe), you’ll find that these muffins can be thrown together very quickly. They taste just like Christmas if you ask me!
Quick Eggnog Muffins
2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour (I use freshly ground hard white wheat)
3/4 cup sucanat
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup melted butter
2 eggs
1 cup eggnog
2 teaspoons rum extract (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Stir together flour, sucanat, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Add melted butter, eggs, eggnog, and extracts. Stir until well combined. Scoop batter into 16 paper lined muffin cups. Bake in a 400° for 15-22 minutes or until muffins are golden brown.
Makes approximately 16 muffins.
The rum extract in this recipe is optional, but it sure does add some great flavor! These are a perfect addition to your Christmas brunch. And did I mention they are easy to make? :)

I haven’t tried the eggnog yet, but hopefully I can soon–then I’ll make these muffins! Yum!

Laura, I don’t usually keep butter around – do you think melted coconut oil would work here or possibly some other kind of oil? Maybe it’ll taste like a tropical eggnog? :)

Sure, I think coconut oil should work fine. :)

I wish I had some eggnog left for this. Alas, I used it in eggnog ice cream.

I assume you had leftover eggnog. Could I just use milk?
[Reply]

Not an eggnog fan but I may need to try these. Thank you.

Another recipe to try – thanks!!

sounds yummy. Now only if I had some eggnog…………
[Reply]
Can you say YUM!!! I made an eggnog cake (with yucky stuff that I found on sale a few years ago) and it was awesome. Even my eggnog disliking husband was all about it…I bet this could be converted to a cake and made with some eggnog frosting to make something similar!

I made cherry eggnog bread yesterday and it is wonderful! So throw in some dried or candied cherries with this recipe!

What is sucanat? Is that sugar?

Yes, it is unproccessed sugar. I should have linked to this post when mentioning it in the recipe: http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/the-most-nutritious-sweeteners :)
