French Toast Muffins are a delightful twist on a classic breakfast favorite. Imagine the comforting flavors of French toast, but in a convenient, portable muffin form! These muffins are soft, fluffy, and infused with the rich taste of cinnamon and vanilla, making them a perfect breakfast or brunch option. Whether you serve them with syrup, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar, they’re sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.

Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 large eggs
    1 cup milk (whole, 2%, or almond milk)
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1/4 cup melted butter
    1/2 cup cubed bread (preferably day-old or slightly stale)
    2 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the cubed bread, making sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar with a pinch of cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of each muffin for a sweet, crunchy topping.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm with syrup, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

  • You can stir in fruit like blueberries, sliced bananas, or chopped apples for added sweetness and texture.
  • Chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts also work well in these muffins.
  • For a fall twist, replace the cinnamon with pumpkin pie spice and add some canned pumpkin to the batter.
  • Use flax eggs to make this recipe vegan-friendly, along with plant-based milk.
  • For a cinnamon roll-inspired muffin, swirl some cinnamon sugar through the batter before baking.
