Do you love eggnog? My family really loves that rich and delicious stuff! During the Holidays I try to keep it around for them to enjoy. This week as I was pouring a glass for my youngest daughter I had a realization that kind of blew my mind. I realized I had never actually baked with eggnog before?!
I am not sure how that is possible….
This realization then led me straight to creating the holiday doughnut of my/your/our dreams, because for me doughnuts are a way of life. I am pretty sure this doughnut is going to make a whole lot of other people happy too. Let me take a minute to introduce you to my newest doughnut creation. ….. Eggnog doughnuts with a delicious eggnog creamy, dreamy frosting!
I could not believe how super simple making these were. I kind of just added a dash of this and that, and tasted as I went along. Just make sure to have a good doughnut baking pan. Here is a link

- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup eggnog
- 1 large egg

- 1 teaspoon almond extract

Here is a printable copy of the recipe!
Ingredients
- Doughnut Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup eggnog
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- Frosting Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 3 tablespoons eggnog
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- dash of ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- Grease a 6-well doughnut pan or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and the salt. Whisk or stir to blend thoroughly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the 3/4 cup of eggnog with the egg, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and almond extract.
- Add the flour mixture and stir until well blended.
- Spoon the batter into the wells of the doughnut pan, filling them about two-thirds full. Alternatively, to pipe the batter, spoon it into a plastic food storage bag and cut out a small piece of the corner. Squeezing the bag, pipe the batter into the wells.
- Bake the doughnuts for about 9 to 11 minutes, or until set. A toothpick inserted into a doughnut should come out clean.
- Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a rack.
- Frosting Directions:
- Sift the powdered sugar into a bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of eggnog, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and almond extract, and a dash of nutmeg. Stir until well blended. If the batter seems too thick, thin it with more eggnog or some milk.
- Dunk the tops of the doughnuts into the glaze and place them back on the rack to dry.
- The glaze would soak into the more porous bottoms, so the tops are best for glazing.
- Enjoy!
I hope you enjoyed this recipe. Happy Holidays and have fun baking!
