Eggnog Oatmeal Muffins

WW Recipe of the Day: Eggnog Oatmeal Muffins

I totally overshot the runway with eggnog this holiday season, purchasing 2 quarts of it right before Christmas.

I love eggnog, but didn't really have anyone else to help me drink it.

Now I have a lot leftover and am looking for creative ways to use it.

Eggnog Oatmeal Muffins

So, I decided to whip up a batch of eggnog oatmeal muffins for breakfast last week.

Eggnog Oatmeal Muffins Recipe Notes

I used my favorite old-fashioned oatmeal muffins recipe as a starting point and made adjustments from there, substituting a combination of eggnog and milk for the buttermilk.

Sprinkling them with a little cinnamon sugar gave them a sweet crunchy topping.
