Eggnog Muffins


1 egg beaten
1/3 c. canola oil
3/4 eggnog ( Silk brand Eggnog works beautifully for those who cannot tolerate milk)
1/4 c. rum

2c. flour
1 T. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
2/3 c. sugar

1 t. nutmeg to sprinkle on top of the muffins.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a small bowl stir together beaten egg, oil, eggnog and rum then set aside.  Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a medium-size bowl.  Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the egg mixture.  Mix together just until dry ingredients are moistened.  Spray mini muffin pans.  Fill the cups with the muffin batter 3/4 full and sprinkle the tops with the nutmeg.  Bake approximately 15-20 minutes or until the tops are lightly brown.

Makes 36 mini-muffins.  Enjoy!
