Eggnog Rum Muffins

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
• 1 cup eggnog
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup rum
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners or grease.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl; mix in walnuts.

Combine eggnog, melted butter, rum, egg, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture until just moistened, forming a lumpy batter.

Pour batter into prepared muffin cups and bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
