2 1/4 cup flour

1 Tbsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup plus 2 Tbsp sugar, divided

2 large eggs

3/4 cup eggnog

5 1/3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

1 tsp almond extract

1 1/2 cup coarsely chopped cranberries

1 cup white chocolate chips

Topping:

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup flour

1/2 tsp cinnamon

4 Tbsp butter

1/2 cup chopped pecans

(For my topping I drizzled a mixture of eggnog, powdered sugar and 1/4 tsp rum extract over muffins after baking.)

Bake at 400 for 18 minutes.

For muffin: Chop cranberries and mix with 2 Tbsp sugar.

Mix all wet ingredients and incorporate dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in cranberries and white chocolate chips. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full, sprinkle topping and bake.
