Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Muffins Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups cubed bread (day-old bread works best!)
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar (for sprinkling) mixed with 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cubed bread to the mixture, making sure all pieces are coated. Let it soak for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Divide the bread mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the tops of the muffins and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. These muffins are best enjoyed warm!
Helpful Tips for Success
- If you want even more cinnamon flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon directly to the batter!
- Leftover muffins are perfect for snacking; just store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days!
- For a fun twist, try serving them with maple syrup or whipped cream for dipping!
