Easy Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Muffins
These bite-sized Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Muffins combine the comforting flavors of cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla into an easy-to-make breakfast or brunch treat. Perfect for busy mornings or special occasions!
Ingredients
- 8 slices bread (day-old works best)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (or substitute with almond milk)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Cut the bread into small cubes, about 1-inch in size.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Add the bread cubes to the mixture and gently toss until fully coated. Let sit for 5 minutes to absorb the custard.
- Evenly distribute the soaked bread cubes into the prepared muffin tin, pressing down gently to pack them in.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and set in the center.
- While the muffins are baking, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl.
- Brush the baked muffins with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the top.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
