JMP Cinnameg Eggnog Coffee Cupcakes

Make the cupcakes

1. 1
   Prep for baking: prepare a cupcake pan with cupcake liners and preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. 2
   Combine dry ingredients: combine the all-purpose flour, JMP Cinnameg Flavoured Coffee, baking powder, nutmeg and salt in a medium-sized bowl and set the mixture aside.
3. 3
   Unsalted butter, sugar and oil: add the unsalted butter, sugar and oil to a large mixer bowl and beat together until light in colour and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
4. 4
   Add eggs and vanilla extract: add the eggs one at a time, mixing until mostly combined after each. Add the vanilla extract with the second egg. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all of the ingredients are well incorporated.
5. 5
   Start adding dry ingredients: add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until mostly combined.
6. 6
   Add eggnog: slowly add the eggnog and mix until well combined.
7. 7
   Finish adding dry ingredients: add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until well combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure everything is well incorporated. Do not over-mix.
8. 8
   Bake: fill the liners just over halfway full and bake the cupcakes for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
9. 9
   Let cool: remove the cupcakes from the oven and place them on a cooling rack to cool completely.
