2 cups 2 (250g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup 1/2 (100g) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon 1 baking powder
1/2 teaspoon 1/2 salt
1/2 teaspoon 1/2 ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon 1/2 ground cinnamon
2 large 2 eggs
1 cup 1 (240ml) eggnog
1/2 cup 1/2 (120ml) vegetable oil

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

- In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add eggnog, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
