  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  • First make the streusel topping. In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. 
  • Add the butter and rub together with your fingers until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

  • Whisk until smooth. 
  • Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don't over mix.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of muffin batter in each prepared muffin cup. 
  • Top with 1 teaspoon of streusel. 
  • Add more batter to cover the streusel, about a heaping teaspoon. 
  • Top muffins with remaining streusel.
  • Bake muffins for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let muffins cool to room temperature.
  • While the muffins are cooking, make the eggnog glaze. 
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, eggnog, and pinch of nutmeg. 
  • Whisk until smooth. 
  • Drizzle glaze over the muffins. 
  • Serve and enjoy
