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? :)
Looks great! I make an eggnog coffee cake every year for my hubby. He LOVES eggnog, I however am not a fan. But I don’t mind it in baked goods! I don’t think I can sway from the traditional coffee cake but these would be great to use up the rest of the eggnog for later next week!
These sound awesome. I’ll have to try them. :)
Yum! I love egg nog.
Those sound yummy. My husband loves eggnog, so I bet he’d like these muffins. :)
I will have to give these a try!
sounds perfect for christmas morning!
sounds easy enough :) loved your pancake sausage muffins
That sounds tasty. I just bought some eggnog today. Looks like my girls and I have a fun recipe to try tomorrow! Thanks!
Never made anything with eggnog before :)
nice
I LOVE eggnog muffins!
Wow These would be fantastic!
That’s great! I’ve never heard of eggnog muffins! (and I have been around!) — I’m definitely trying these
yum, yum, can’t wait to try them
I’m not a big fan of muffins, but the gift certificate sounds good.
Mmmmmmmmmmm they sound yummy!
looks good! thanks!
Oh yeah! These sound so delicious! Where do you find rum extract?
These look great! I just might have to try them if we have leftover eggnog. Maybe a treat for us after all of our guests leave :)
Oh my! I LOVE eggnog! So many recipes, not enough time…..
Linda
These look delicious!
I love eggnog muffins. I bet this is a great recipe. I’ll have to try it with the clearance nog at the store or make my own just for this recipe.
These look great. I want to try them.
Oh yay! Just…yay! Thanks for this! My family will love these!
Yum! I am thinking these for Christmas morning instead of the usual cinnamon rolls!
Yummy!
I love eggnog!
These sound great, yum!
Yummy! sounds delicious and would go great with the local egg nog ice cream I just picked up!
Love muffins
Would it be possible to use regular rum instead of rum extract? I know the flavor wouldn’t be as concentrated, but I bet it’s easier to find. :)
I bet my husband would love these! He loves egg nog!
They sound delicious. I have never used eggnog before.
Looks yummy! I guess I will have to make eggnog.
You have amazing recipes…as always, thank you for a wonderful job! Merry Christmas!
I bet these would be a hit at my house=).
I can’t wait to try those out! Right now, there is gingerbread in the oven though!
Sounds yummy!!! I may just have to try these.
THANKS!!!
These would definitely be a big hit here!
Yummmmmmmmmmmm!
Thanks, they look good!
These look so yummy!! :) Thank you for sharing!
I know what we’re having on Christmas morning – yum!!
Alright…I think I’m going to muster up the courage to make eggnog. All these eggnog posts make me want to give it a whirl!
Just finished breakfast, and these were amazing. My kids loved them and want me to make them again. Oh yeah, we used your eggnog recipe, too! My husband said that it was the best he had ever had…making another batch today. Thanks!!!!
I will have to give these a try!!
Sound great! Maybe this will be my intro to eggnog.
These sound great. Last year I made eggnog cookies which were at hit at our Christmas gathering. I love baking with eggnog since you get the taste of eggnog but it is not as rich as drinking it straight which I can’t do more than 1 glass of. Thanks!
I might have to try making some eggnog…at least I know it won’t go to waste with these muffins!
Sounds great, going to go make egg nog so we can enjoy tonight and then use the extra for breakfast, yummy!
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.
They sound delish!
These look great! Thank you so much for sharing!
Those look so yummy! =)
Yum!
I am making these!
Yum!!!! :)
I assume you had leftover eggnog. Could I just use milk?
Those sound delicious! And I have eggnog in the fridge!
Not an eggnog fan but I may need to try these. Thank you.
Ohh, I have so much baking to do-but I really think I need to make these as well. They sound wonderful!
Another recipe to try – thanks!!
sounds yummy. Now only if I had some eggnog…………
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!
Heather
so having these with Christmas Brunch!
thanks
These sound good. Thank you for the recipes and the possibilities.
This seems good and easy to make.
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: https://www.heavenlyhomemakers.com/the-most-nutritious-sweeteners :)
What a fun idea! Thank you!
I plan on making these!
Thanks for another chance to win!
Sounds good!
those look delish, we made eggnog mini muffins last week
these sound so yummy. I am wondering if I can switch flours to make them gluten free??
These look so so good. Well have to try.
Havent made muffins in awhile, will have to give these a try
I bet these smell sooo delicious!
ohhh this looks like a yummy recipe.i am going to have to try this one.mmmm
This looks like Christmas Eve breakfast to me! Good thing I hid the eggnog from the boys!!
Thanks for another great recipe.
Great way to use up that healthier egg nog recipe!
Any excuse to have eggnog…
These sound delicious! I add rum extract to my homemade eggnog also- it gives it the perfect flavor!
I just made these and we eating them hot out of the oven. They won’t last for long! I had a quart of pumpkin eggnog in the frig, so I used that. Delicious!
This sounds very yummy!
I just made these for our breakfast in the morning…OH MY GOODNESS. I have already been told I will be making them again!
