Eggnog Cinnamon Swirl Muffins

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!
