This eggnog cake recipe is delicious and works great in muffin form so if you have leftover eggnog in your refrigerator these holiday muffins are what you need to bake today. I love to combine eggnog into many desserts. There is something about that spice that really levels up your dessert recipes.

Eggnog muffins Recipe

This eggnog dessert is a delicious take on the traditional holiday drink. We love ours warmed up just a little in the microwave before serving. Baking with eggnog is a wonderful, flavorful way to add a nice spicy and creamy addition to any recipe.

 

There are so many delicious eggnog crumb coffee cake recipes that are out there but I think that this recipe made into muffins is the right size proportion for a delicious treat at anytime during the year. I use a muffin tin to make these muffins fantastic each and every time!

 

Hint- Buy a few extra cartons of eggnog and freeze them for anytime during the year.

 

Happy Baking!
