Cinnamon French Toast Muffins (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base Mixture
01 -
4 large eggs
02 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
03 -
¼ cup granulated sugar
04 -
1 cup whole milk
05 -
4 cups stale bread, cut into 1-inch pieces
06 -
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
07 -
½ cup heavy cream
→ Sweet Topping
08 -
2 tablespoons butter, melted
09 -
¼ cup granulated sugar
10 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
# Instructions:
01 -
Chop up your stale bread into bite-sized cubes, and set them aside for now.
02 -
In a big bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cream, sugar, and cinnamon until it's all smooth and combined.
03 -
Throw the bread pieces into the custard and gently mix until everything's soaked well. Leave it to sit for about 10 minutes so the bread can absorb the mixture.
04 -
Fire up your oven to 350°F. Grease a standard muffin tray with butter or pop in paper liners.
05 -
Spoon the soaked bread into each muffin tin section, pushing down gently. Combine sugar with cinnamon, drizzle butter over the muffins, and then go in with the sweet topping.
06 -
Bake for around 20-25 minutes until the muffins are golden and firm. Let them rest in the tray briefly, then cool on a rack. They're best enjoyed warm with some maple syrup if you're feeling fancy.
# Notes:
01 -
You can whip up the custard mix the night before to make mornings smoother.
02 -
Switch up the spices by tossing in a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for something new.
