Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup walnuts, chopped (Optional)

  • 1 cup eggnog

  • ⅓ cup butter, melted

  • ¼ cup rum

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners or grease.

  2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl; mix in walnuts.

  3. Combine eggnog, melted butter, rum, egg, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture until just moistened, forming a lumpy batter.

  4. Pour batter into prepared muffin cups and bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

I used walnuts for this recipe, but any variety of nuts can be used. Raisins (1/2 cup) can also be used.

Substitute water for the rum, if desired.
