Tasty Tuesday

 We invited company for tea and muffins at the end of last week.  Don't tell our guest but she was being a taste tester like I am☺

Mom made Eggnog Muffins for Miss Laurie.   This recipe is for a 9"X5" loaf pan but mom likes muffins better.   They take 35 minutes to bake.      We also added about 1/3 cup of dried cranberries to the batter before baking them.

DRY INGREDIENTS

• ▢2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• ▢2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• ▢1/2 tsp kosher salt
• ▢3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• ▢1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

• WET INGREDIENTS

  • ▢2 large eggs
  • ▢1 cup granulated sugar
  • ▢1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • ▢2 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • ▢1 cup eggnog
  • ▢1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ▢1 Tbsp rum (or 1 - 2 tsp of rum extract)

  • Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Line a 9x5" loaf pan with parchment paper, or spray with baking spray. Set aside.
    • In a mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg), and whisk to combine.
    • In a separate, larger mixing bowl, add eggs and whisk. Whisk in sugar, then vegetable oil, melted butter, eggnog, vanilla extract and rum.
    • Add dry ingredients to eggnong mixture, using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to stir until JUST combined.
    • Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-65 minutes, until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
    • Let cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire cooling rack to cool completely.
