Quite possibly the easiest, most delicious mini muffin ever.
Even my egg nog hating husband enjoyed these! Plus, this recipe makes about 72 mini muffins. That’s a lot of muffins folks. I freeze them in ziploc gallon freezer bags (1-2 dozen per bag). Thaw on counter before serving…these are fantastic to keep on hand during the holiday season!
Seriously. Look at the nutmeg in there. Mmmmm…..
Go make a batch of them today so you have some in YOUR freezer for Christmas morning! One of our favorite traditions is leaving a cup of eggnog (instead of milk) for Santa. I think he would enjoy a few of these muffins instead of cookies too! At least I know OUR Santa would!!

So, if I came down your chimney dressed as Santa I’d be greeted with some of these eggnog muffins? They look and sound amazing. I need to find a good homemade eggnog recipe as they don’t sell it at my local supermarket.
I’d love it if you came over to my Sugar & Slice Sunday Link party and link these bad boys up!

Haha, this cracked me up! Yes, you will find some of these muffins with a cup of eggnog.
You definitely need to make some homemade nog…I’ve got more eggnog recipes coming soon!!

Love these! I looooove eggnog. These muffins look fantastic! They’d never last, not even in my freezer.

Thanks for pinning Rina!!

I’m preeeety sure that I can’t wait until Christmas to make these! They sound like a light and lovely Thanksgiving breakfast to me
Becca @ Crumbs and Chaos recently posted..Seasonal Inspiration: 11-17-12
No. Don’t wait. I’m pretty sure you need to make them ASAP!!
Can I please move in with you? Or can’t we at least be neighbors, so you can bring me all these awesome goodies you make. As soon as I pick up a carton of eggnog, these muffins will be the first thing I make for sure!

Jenn, haha, what’s one more in the house!? I need someone else to eat more of these goodies!
I love eggnog a little too much…no way would these last long enough to freeze. Between my son and I, we would demolish the whole batch. Too funny because we leave Santa eggnog too:-)
Jocelyn @BruCrew Life recently posted..Brownie Mint Rice Krispie Treats
Trust me, they are too good you will HAVE to freeze them to keep yourself from eating them all. And I’m pretty sure Santa would love these with his cup of eggnog….
Okay, I can drink eggnog by the gallon, sooooooo I’m pretty sure these wouldn’t last long in my house. I don’t know about Santa, but Mrs. Claus is going to put in a request for these Christmas Eve. They look divine–and that picture with the nutmeg flecks? Perfect!!
We drink a lot of eggnog this time of year too! It’s a good thing I don’t make my own or we’d be in trouble all year long!
How gorgeous! I should probably find where to get eggnog first
Medeja recently posted..Pyragas su Kreminiu Sūriu/ Cream Cheese Bars
Yeah, I forget not everybody has eggnog available. I have seen some great recipes to make your own online! I think you need to do that, I have more eggnog recipes coming soon!
My brother loves egg nog so I know what I’ll be making for Christmas holidays. So glad I can freeze them too – good thinkin’! Thanks for the recipe!

You’re welcome Liz, I hope he enjoys them!!
Definitely loving these, Aimee! I’m sure Santa will, too
and I love that it makes a ginormous batch. Perfect for freezing like you said, and gift-giving later in the month!
Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel recently posted..Deep Dish Gingerbread Oreo-Stuffed Cookies
Thanks Hayley! Gift giving? YOu think I’d share these? hahaha…
These look amazing but do you think I could use butter instead of Crisco? We don’t use shortening in this house
And if you ever feel like moving, the house next door from me is for sale. I’ll make the coffee if you make the muffins.

Haha, I’ll let my hubs know we are moving!
I haven’t tried all butter, but most recipes you can easily swap and substitute. I imagine they would be just fine! Just be sure to use unsalted butter!
I’m not even a huge fan of egg nog either, but these do look amazing! Same question as Elizabeth, possible to substitute directly with butter?
Paola @ gnom-gnom.com recently posted..(vegan) raspberry ‘n buckwheat scones
I haven’t tried it with all butter, but most of my recipes work just fine to substitute. Be sure to use unsalted butter! Let me know!
Ok – I feel a new tradition at our Christmas breakfast table! These look fantastic. I’d love for you to share this at Tuesday’s Table for the Holidays – http://zentmrs.blogspot.com/2012/11/tuesdays-table-holiday-ideas.html

I need this recipe for my egg nog loving grandson, I thank you and he thanks you!!!
They look so good and I love their mini size
Looks good! Did you ice them before they went in the freezer or after?
Before! Then I just thaw them on the counter for about 20 minutes! ENJOY!
Thanks!! I think I’ll make some tomorrow!
These look delicious! I shared your recipe on my blog http://momelite.com/bring-egg-nog/. I hope you don’t mind!
Cyndi recently posted..Bring on the Egg Nog
Hi these sound delicious just wondering if these can be kept at room temp with this glaze?
They sure can!!!
I’m right in the middle of making these, still waiting for the oven to preheat so I can pop the muffin tin in, and I’m wondering if the dough is supposed to be as thick as it is. It seems like drop-cookie dough, and muffin batter is usually thinner, more runny. I thought maybe I hadn’t added enough eggnog, but I checked your recipe and I did everything right. Is the batter normally thick than regular muffin/cake batter?
It is a little more dense! You’re doing fine
ENJOY!!!
Ok, yes. They just came out of the oven looking perfect! Thanks!
I made these yesterday for my xmas eve get-together. Taste was great but everyone said they were very dry:( I found the batter very thick and even added extra eggnog.to try and thin it out. Anyone else make them and found the same?
