    Glazed Eggnog Donut Muffins

    Ring in the holidays with an easy, make-ahead breakfast that is perfect for your Christmas buffet, a weekend brunch, or even for a meal on the run! These Glazed Eggnog Donut Muffins bake like a muffin, but taste just like your favorite spiced donut! 

    Glazed Eggnog Donut Muffins are an easy make-ahead breakfast or brunch to celebrate the Christmas season. Perfect with coffee!

    I wait all year to enjoy the flavors of eggnog! It's not the rum in a tradition eggnog that I especially love, but rather the combination of creamy, sweet, comforting spices. So when the cartons of The Good Stuff hit store shelves, I instantly begin using it in lieu of milk in everything from oatmeal, to coffee, pancakes, breakfast buns, and even these donuts (er...muffins!).

    Glazed Eggnog Donut Muffins are an easy make-ahead breakfast or brunch to celebrate the Christmas season. Perfect with coffee!

    When I first made a batch of these donut muffins and gave them to my boys to try, they instantly scarfed them down. Mid-chew, Gibbs paused only to ask me how many more I had left. The kid wanted to be absolutely certain that there were more of these treats waiting for him at his next meal! Let's just say that a single batch doesn't last long in our house.

    Ingredients

    For the muffins:

    • ¼ cup butter softened
    • ¼ cup canola oil
    • ½ cup granulated sugar
    • ⅓ cup brown sugar
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon rum extract
    • 2 ⅔ cup all purpose flour
    • 1 cup eggnog

    For the glaze:

    • 3 tablespoons butter melted
    • 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
    • ¾ teaspoon vanilla
    • 2 tablespoons hot water

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
    • Line a standard size muffin tin with (12) paper liners.
    • In a medium­sized mixing bowl, cream together the butter, oil, and sugars until smooth.
    • Add the eggs, beating to combine.
    • Stir in the baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and rum extract.
    • Stir the flour into the butter mixture alternately with the eggnog, beginning and ending with the flour and making sure everything is thoroughly combined.
    • Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pan, filling the cups nearly full.
    • Bake the muffins for 15 to 17 minutes, or until they’re a pale golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean.
    • In a medium bowl, prepare the glaze by mixing together the melted butter, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and water. Whisk until smooth.
    • When muffins have cooled slightly, dip the muffin crown into the glaze and allow the glaze to harden.
    • Serve warm. Muffins will keep at room temperature for about a day.
