"Tyler Florence, you need to bake more. These are by far the most sensational muffins I have ever eaten. The recipe is perfect.

"For starters...Cut the recipe for the streusel topping in half or even 1/4 it!!!! I would need to make at least 3-4 batches of muffin to use the rest of the streusel. Up the brown sugar in the muffin base to 1 cup (this eases the bite of the eggnog and the bitterness of the cran). BEAT brown sugar with the eggnog for a good 3 min; then add the eggs, melted butter (COOLED), and vanilla. Beat well. Incorporate the flour mixture (sans the brown sugar) into the nog mix. Fold in chopped FRESH (or frozen) cranberries-it makes a HUGE difference in the flavor! Cook about 25 mins at 375. Let cool in pan for 1 min or 2. Then remove muffins from pan and onto a cooling rack.

This recipe makes me wonder if anyone working at foodnetwork tests these recipes before putting them into the magazine. I don't know any baker, professional or hobbyist, who would put that much streusel on 12 muffins.
