Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups eggnog
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 0.25 cups brown sugar (packed, for streusel)
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg (for streusel)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoons of ground nutmeg, and 0.25 teaspoons of salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together 0.75 cups of eggnog, 0.5 cups of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 6

To prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, mix 0.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.25 cups of packed brown sugar, and 0.25 teaspoons of ground nutmeg. Add 3 tablespoons of cold, cubed butter and work it into the mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin, ensuring an even distribution.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
