Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Cinnamon Swirl:
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggnog, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Prepare the cinnamon swirl by mixing the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add the softened butter and mix with a fork until it forms a crumbly paste.
  6. Spoon about half of the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups.
  7. Dollop about half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter in each cup.
  8. Top with the remaining batter, ensuring each cup is about two-thirds full.
  9. Dollop the rest of the cinnamon swirl mixture on top of the remaining batter. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl it into the batter.
  10. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  11. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra cinnamon roll flavor, you can drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and a little eggnog over the cooled muffins.
  • Ensure your butter for the swirl is softened but not melted for the best texture.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of cardamom to the dry ingredients for an extra aromatic touch.
