French Toast Muffins
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Serves 12
Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 Slices of brioche or sourdough bread
4 eggs
2 Tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
1 Cup milk
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a muffin tin.
Combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
Slice the bread into cubes.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and then whisk in the brown sugar, vanilla, and milk.
Add the cubed bread to the egg mixture, mixing so every piece of bread is soaked in the egg mixture.
Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar on the egg-coated bread and carefully mix.
Repeat with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
Evenly distribute the mixture in the muffin pan without pressing down on them.
Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until the muffins are golden, then serve warm.
Notes:
Powdered sugar topping: These look pretty when you dust them with powdered sugar just before serving. Alternatively, drizzle over some sweet syrup or garnish with a sprig of mint or chopped fruit.
Freeze stale bread cubes: If you have some brioche, sourdough, or Cuban bread that’s dried out, don’t toss it out with the trash. Just cut it into cubes and freeze it so you can make French toast muffins in the future whenever you want.
Keep them light: Resist the urge to press the bread mixture down in the muffin tins before baking. The more you press them down, the denser they will get, which isn’t what you want.
