This Eggnog Muffins recipes is full of all kinds of amazing flavors including egg nog, cranberry and white chocolate!

We love muffins at our house and make them weekly.  These Lemon Blueberry Muffins taste like spring. Banana Muffins are perfect for ripe bananas and these Cinnamon Roll Muffins taste just like a cinnamon roll.

“It tastes like Christmas.”  This was Tessa’s response after her first bite of this eggnog muffins recipes!  I took that as a good sign.

The holiday season has officially begun because I have bought my first carton of eggnog.  I love eggnog and one of my favorite holiday treats to make with it is a scone made with eggnog, craisinets and white chocolate chips.

If you are not an eggnog fan you will still love these muffins,  there is not a strong eggnog flavor.

The combination of eggnog, cranberries, cinnamon and white chocolate is perfect and, like Tessa said, tastes like Christmas!

How to Make Eggnog Muffins

If you don’t have fresh cranberries (they are easy to find this time of year) these muffins would be great with dried cranberries too, just like the scones I make.  The muffin is topped with a crunchy cinnamon streusel topping that gives the muffin some extra sweetness and goodness. If you are a nut lover add some chopped pecans into the topping.

muffin tips:

  • Don’t over stir the batter.  Stir just until all the ingredients are incorporated.
  • After chopping your cranberries coat them with a little sugar.

  • Gently fold the cranberries into the batter, they will bleed a bit into the batter and that is o.k.
  • Use a 1/3 cup measure or scoop to measure out your batter.  It makes the perfect size muffin.

  • ¾ cup eggnog
  • 6 Tbsp. butter melted

  • 1½ cups coarsely chopped cranberries
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Streusel Topping:

  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • Fill the prepared muffin liners 2/3 full

Streusel topping:

  • Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and butter

    Just made these and they are FABULOUS!! I did a tiny bit of altering to the recipe. I used macadamia nuts and added them to the batter instead of on top and I switched out the almond flavor for vanilla. LOVE them, one of the best muffins that I have ever made!
