Orange Spiced Eggnog Muffins with homemade eggnog glaze makes these muffins the most popular holiday dessert ever. In fact, this eggnog muffin is a classic Christmas breakfast muffin recipe that you can make in no time.
Preheat oven to 400F or 200C. Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it with nonstick cooking spray and placing cupcake liners in them. Set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl mix eggnog with egg, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and orange liqueur. Mix them using a wired whisk. You don't have to use a stand mixer or handheld mixer for this step.
Sieve All-Purpose flour, freshly grated nutmeg, a pinch of salt, baking powder, baking soda. Add 5-6 cardamom seeds. Mix everything using a wooden spoon or a silicone spatula to make a lumpy muffin batter.
Use an ice cream scoop to scoop out muffin batter and pour it into the muffin tin. Fill up to 3/4th of the cupcake liner. Bake it in a preheated oven at 400F or 200C for 7-minutes. Then reduce the heat to 320F or 160C and bake them for an additional 8-10 minutes. Each oven works differently. So do keep a close eye on your eggnog muffins.Check with a toothpick to see if they are done. If it comes out clean, then it is overbaked. If it comes out with few moist crumbs them it is absolutely done. If it comes out wet, then it is not done yet.Take it out of the oven and allow it to cool in the muffin tin for another 10-minutes at room temperature. Meanwhile make the eggnog glaze.
In a small bowl mix powdered sugar with eggnog and cinnamon. Stir well until smooth. Transfer it to a piping bag. Snip the edge and pipe the frosting on the muffins. Serve and Enjoy!
