Eggnog Coffee Cake Muffins

I had never had eggnog prior to this past holiday season. I'm still not sure that I like it, but after buying eggnog for my Gingerbread Eggnong Cupcakes, I had to find something else to do with my eggnog. This recipe from Pinterest sounded like a delicious breakfast idea. These muffins were sweet, but not too sweet and definitely felt festive.
