We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, yet it’s the first one to go when we are busy. With the crazy holiday season in full gear, I’m making it hard for you to ignore breakfast with these on-the-go muffins full with some of my favorite holiday flavors.

These eggnog cinnamon swirl muffins are tasty for a quick morning grab-and-go or a mid-afternoon coffee break as they are made with the season’s spiced eggnog, orange zest, cranberries and Krusteaz’s cinnamon swirl muffins.

I love transforming box mixes to suit our family’s tastes! The cinnamon swirl muffin mix from Krusteaz is amazing as the muffins are moist, soft, and bursting with cinnamon flavor.

However, I wanted to give it a more holiday flare so I whisked in some leftover eggnog I had from making this eggnog bundt cake, fresh orange zest, and fresh cranberries from this cranberry cinnamon star bread.

That’s the beauty of muffins, you can throw in anything you like to suit your needs. These muffins are versatile and great starters!

As you get ready to host friends and family, be sure to make these muffins for a breakfast option! They are easy to whip up and are delicious with a cup of tea or coffee.

Ingredients

• Krusteaz Cinnamon Swirl Muffin mix

How to Make Eggnog Muffins

Preheat the oven and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

In a large bowl, stir the muffin mix with the eggnog, water, egg, and orange zest until well blended.

Fold in the fresh cranberries. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon topping in the batter and swirl.

Spoon the batter into the prepared pans. Top each muffin with a little bit of the remaining cinnamon topping.

Bake the muffins until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 18-20 minutes. Remove the muffins and let cool completely.
