Directions
-
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 400˚F. Line 16 muffin cups with muffin liners.
-
STEP 2
Make the streusel. Place the oats, brown sugar, flour and ginger in a small mixing bowl. Add the butter and, using your fingers or a fork, combine until the butter is in small pea-size pieces. Set aside.
-
STEP 3
Make the muffins. Melt the butter and place in a large bowl of a stand mixer. Add molasses, egg, sour cream, eggnog, and vanilla and mix until combined, about 45 seconds to 1 minute.
-
STEP 4
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and brown sugar.
-
STEP 5
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Stir by hand until just combined. The batter will be thick and may be lumpy. Do not over mix.
-
STEP 6
Divide the batter evenly among 16 muffin cups. Top each cup with 2 tablespoons of streusel topping. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from pan and allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
-
STEP 7
Make glaze. Place the eggnog and the powdered sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Stir until smooth. Drizzle on top of each muffin.
