Eggnog Crumb Cake Muffins

This girl loves Christmas and everything that goes along with it. From the decorations and lights to the tree and Christmas cards I can’t get enough of holiday happenings. From making Christmas cookies, gingerbread cake and holiday candies time can get stretched very thin. But I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

These Eggnog Crumb Cake Muffins are so moist and delicious. Top with a cream cheese icing for true indulgence. This is a very easy muffin recipe and the key here is to not over mix the batter. By layering the crumb mixture on the inside of the muffin you get sweet crumbs with every bite.
