Cinnamon French Toast Muffins (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Muffin Base
01 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
02 -
4 large eggs
03 -
4 cups stale bread, chopped into 1-inch chunks
04 -
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
05 -
½ cup heavy cream
06 -
1 cup whole milk
07 -
¼ cup white sugar
→ Cinnamon Sugar Topping
08 -
2 tablespoons butter, melted
09 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
10 -
¼ cup white sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Slice your stale bread into bite-sized cubes, about 1 inch, and leave it for now.
02 -
Combine eggs, milk, sugar, cream, vanilla, and cinnamon in a big bowl. Whisk well until it's smooth.
03 -
Place the bread pieces into the custard, making sure everything gets coated. Let it rest for 10 minutes so the bread absorbs the mix.
04 -
Warm your oven to 350°F and either grease a 12-slot muffin pan or pop in some paper liners.
05 -
Scoop the soaked bread into the muffin cups, packing them down a bit. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar after brushing with melted butter.
06 -
Pop the pan in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and firm. Let them cool in the pan before moving them to a wire rack. They're great warm, especially with a splash of syrup!
# Notes:
01 -
Mix the custard ingredients the night before to save time in the morning.
02 -
Experiment with warm spices like nutmeg or cardamom to change things up.
