Egg Nog Cinnamon Rolls

Healthy Fact of the Day

While these are a holiday indulgence, some ingredients offer nutritional benefits. Eggs provide protein and essential nutrients. To make slightly healthier, use whole wheat flour for part of the all-purpose flour to add fiber. Consider reducing sugar in the filling or using a natural sweetener alternative. For a lighter glaze, use milk instead of eggnog. The spices like cinnamon and nutmeg contain antioxidants and may help regulate blood sugar. These rolls are best enjoyed as an occasional treat during the holiday season. Consider freezing half the batch to enjoy later and control portions.

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup eggnog

  • 1/4 cup eggnog

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
