Eggnog Muffins

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a muffin tin with paper liners; set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and nutmeg until combined.

Step 3

In a larger bowl, whisk together eggs, eggnog, butter, vanilla, and rum. Add flour mixture to the egg mixture; stir just until combined (don’t over-mix!) Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each three-quarter of the way full.

Step 4

Make the Streusel topping: stir together flour, sugar, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Using a pastry blender (or your hands), cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle topping over muffin batter.

Step 5

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into center comes out clean and the streusel is golden.

Step 6

Allow muffins to cool for at least 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
