Baked Eggnog Doughnuts with Eggnog Rum Glaze
I love it when eggnog hits the shelves at grocery stores, I always buy it as soon as I see it, despite the fact that I don’t really enjoy drinking. There is just so much to do with eggnog. The rich, sweet, and nutmeg-y flavor is perfect for seasonal baking. Eggnog cookies started my eggnog obsession, and I realized love the flavors, way more than I enjoy the drink. so, during the short eggnog season I try to work it into as many baked treats as possible.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425° degrees F. Lightly grease a non-stick doughnut pan.
- In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup eggnog, egg, vegetable oil and vanilla. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Spoon the batter into the pan, filling each doughnut only 3/4 of the way.

- To make the glaze:

Baked Eggnog Doughnuts with Eggnog Rum Glaze are the latest addition to my eggnog recipe collection, and let me tell you, we love them! You will need a Nonstick 6-Cavity Donut Pan for this recipe, but they are pretty inexpensive. Even if yours is marked non-stick, you will still need a light coating of oil or non-stick cooking spray. I have had my doughnut pan for a long time, but avoided using it for a while because I hated trying to spoon the doughnut batter into the pan, but I found a much better way! Use a ziploc storage bag like a pastry bag, It is a thousand times easier, and much less messy.
It takes about 12 minutes to cook them and the recipe says 7 minutes.
Thank you for pointing that I out, I have updated the recipe and also added a recommendation of checking for doneness with a toothpick!
