Glazed Eggnog Muffins

Apparently, it's a yearly ritual for me to bake something with eggnog and that something is muffins. Last year, it was mini eggnog doughnut muffins, which were amazing, but this year I decided to bake some big boys. These muffins call for less ingredients and are just as tasty.

These muffins are thick, fluffy and have the perfect amount of holiday spice. Even though there is eggnog in the batter and the glaze, you can barely tell it is actually eggnog, (for all you eggnog haters out there.) 

These were also extremely easy to make and would be perfect for Christmas morning breakfast.

Now come on, how good does that inside look?
