Are you a fan of eggnog? If yes, you are going to love these doughnuts! Even if you aren't the biggest fan of the drink itself, I think you will still love the soft crumb and creamy nutmeg flavour of these simple baked doughnuts!

I love that these doughnuts have real eggnog in the batter and icing. The recipe also calls for additional ground nutmeg to amplify the eggnog flavour in the doughnut batter. And I recommend adding a sprinkle of nutmeg on top of the icing, too, for a pretty garnish!

If you love all things eggnog, I think you will really enjoy these other recipes, too!

Equipment

  • doughnut tin(s)
  • non-stick cooking spray or butter
  • mixing bowl
  • measuring cups & spoons
  • silicone spatula
  • piping bag or ziploc bag

Ingredients

For the Doughnut Batter:

  • ½ cup salted butter, melted
  • ½ cup granulated white sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed (light or dark)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup eggnog
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the Icing:

  • 2-3 tablespoons eggnog
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar (confectioners sugar)

Instructions

To make the Doughnuts:

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Grease doughnut tins well with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
  • Whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs, vanilla, sour cream, and eggnog and whisk until combined.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and nutmeg until combined. Add to the wet ingredients and stir just until incorporated. Do not overmix!
  • Transfer the batter to a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off or a piping bag fitted with a wide tip. Pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut tin(s), filling each doughnut well about ½ full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the doughnut comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling completely before glazing. Bake the remaining doughnuts.

To Make the Glaze:

  • Whisk together the eggnog and powdered sugar in a bowl until a nice icing consistency is reached, adding more powdered sugar or eggnog as needed. Dip the cooled doughnuts in the icing or drizzle the icing on top.
