Eggnog Donuts (Baked)

Usually when I create a recipe, I don’t blog about it for a week or so. But these eggnog donuts? I made them yesterday! I couldn’t wait to share the recipe with all of you. I mean, what if you needed a breakfast recipe for this weekend? Or Thanksgiving? Or Christmas?

You’re welcome. No trust me on this. You. Are. Welcome. These taste like a jug of eggnog. Seriously. Fortunately they are baked, so that’s something healthy, right?

See those tiny specks? Yeah. That’s nutmeg. In my house we don’t all drink our eggnog with nutmeg sprinkled on top. Of course I do…and my son does…but that’s it. My husband *GASP* doesn’t even drink eggnog.

I have more eggnog recipes planned for all of you, and I’ll try to show some restraint and wait until December (or at least after Thanksgiving). As you can see from the photos I’ve already pulled out my Christmas decorations. Would it be wrong to serve our turkey dinner on Christmas china? Just wondering.
