Deliciously soft and flavorful Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Muffins, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch. Made with day-old bread soaked in a cinnamon-vanilla custard, baked to golden perfection and topped with a buttery cinnamon sugar crust.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Muffins

  • 4 cups day-old bread, cubed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Topping

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a muffin tin to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
  3. Soak the Bread: Gently fold the cubed day-old bread into the custard mixture and let it soak for about 5 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the flavors.
  4. Fill Muffin Cups: Evenly distribute the soaked bread mixture into the muffin cups, pressing down lightly to compact the batter and ensure even baking.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Add Topping: Immediately after baking, brush each muffin with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping evenly over each muffin.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving warm for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Use day-old or slightly stale bread for optimal texture and absorption; fresh bread may become too soggy.
  • Feel free to use wheat or gluten-free bread if preferred, adjusting baking times as needed.
  • For extra sweetness, drizzle with maple syrup or honey before serving.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or toaster oven before serving.
