Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups (350g) plain flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda/baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) caster sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup (95g) fresh cranberries, halved
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 stick (56g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup (260ml) Eggnog
  • 3-4 tbsp extra Eggnog to glaze, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and spray a 12 hole muffin tin with cooking spray. I use Wilton Bake Easy.
  • Place flour, baking powder, bicarb, salt, sugars, spices and cranberry halves into a large bowl.
  • Stir until all of the cranberries are coated in flour. Leave to one side.
  • Place eggs, vanilla, melted butter and eggnog into a jug and lightly beat with a fork, just until combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and then gently stir, just until you can't see any lumps of flour.
  • Divide the batter between the muffin holes, filling them level. I use a 2tbsp cookie scoop to ensure my muffins are even.
  • Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes until risen. golden and an inserted skewer into the centre comes out clean.
  • Leave to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, spoon more Eggnog over the top of each muffin, if desired. You can also sprinkle some extra nutmeg on top and some festive sprinkles if you want.
  • Eggnog and Cranberry Muffins will keep in an airtight container, at room temperature, for 4 days.
