Eggnog Doughnuts

Festive & Flavorful Eggnog Doughnuts are the perfect Christmas morning treat! #eggnogrecipes #eggnogdoughnuts #doughnutrecipes

On day 11 of 12 Days of Christmas, I am bringing you a recipe to you that can be enjoyed Christmas morning. I love a good Christmas Breakfast or Brunch. We used to make big lunches or dinner every Christmas, but as we have had kids and get to experience all the joy that brings, I don’t want to be slaving in the kitchen all morning while my family opens gifts. Breakfast & Brunch tend to be quicker and easier to make and can be enjoyed while wrapping paper is flying. The festive Eggnog doughnuts only take minutes to throw together and have the flavors we want to enjoy on this blessed day.
