Get into the holiday spirit with these amazing, tender and moist Oatmeal Eggnog Muffins! They’re a great make-ahead Christmas breakfast.
Eggnog is still in, right? Or am I two weeks too late? Even so. I’m celebrating Christmas today so Eggnog is totally in!
We are going to dive into these oatmeal eggnog muffins in a couple of hours. After that, we are going to take an eating-break, and later we will stuff our faces with everything under the sun. I have the slow cooker on, two ovens, three stove top burners… everything and everyone is working overtime today. As they should.
It’s going to be a fun day with family and friends and I am really looking forward to it. If you need me, I will either be in the kitchen, or at the table satisfying my inner fat kid.
That’s why I made these muffins on the light side of things. Balance is the key to my game. 😉
These Eggnog Muffins are really, really good. I was kind of surprised because I am not a fan of Eggnog, but Eggnog in muffins is a great idea! They are a bit spicy, they are also very sweet, and they smell wonderful. Serve these with a side of milk and enjoy!
Now I’m going to go back into that kitchen and see what else I need to taste… 🙂
To those celebrating today, Merry Christmas! Christ is Born!
Честит Божик! Христос се Роди!
ENJOY!
