Sweet and Tangy, these Cranberry Eggnog Muffins make a tasty and festive breakfast or snack!
I know that its the eve of Christmas Eve and you probably already have everything planned out for what you’re serving this year with your family and friends in town, but I just couldn’t let this season pass without sharing these, plus, maybe you want to whip these up this weekend!
I love the combination of eggnog and cranberry ever since these french toast. It actually took a lot of willpower not to continue making things, combining the two..I didn’t want you to get sick of seeing it. But it’s seriously good!
These muffins are so easy to whip up, and you could use dried cranberries too if you’d like, I just personally love that little tang from the fresh ones, mixed with the sweet muffins and the dark chocolate. It’s a heavenly trio! Enjoy!
