Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Muffins Recipe

Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices of bread day-old bread works best for soaking up all the eggy goodness
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk whole milk or almond milk works well
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ cup cinnamon sugar for rolling after baking

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

  • First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin. I like using non-stick spray or a little butter to ensure the muffins pop right out after baking.

Step 2: Tear Up the Bread

  • Take your bread slices and tear them into bite-sized pieces. Toss them into a large mixing bowl. This is a great step to get the kids involved—they’ll love helping!

Step 3: Mix the Custard

  • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Pour this mixture over the bread pieces and gently toss until all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for about 5 minutes so the bread can absorb all that creamy goodness.

Step 4: Fill the Muffin Tin

  • Spoon the soaked bread mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, pressing it down gently to make sure it’s packed in well. Drizzle a little melted butter over the top of each muffin for an extra touch of yum.

Step 5: Bake

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and slightly crispy. Your kitchen will smell amazing at this point—it’s the kind of aroma that gets everyone out of bed.
