Ingredients :

How to Make french Toast Muffins :
Step 1
Cut the bread: use a sharp knife to cut your bread into small cubes. If your bread is a little stale, that’s even better because it soaks up the egg mixture without turning too mushy. Place the cubes in a large mixing bowl and make the egg mixture: in another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is smooth. This will be the custard that gives your muffins their French toast flavor.


Step 2
Combine bread and custard: pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes. Stir gently so all the bread is coated evenly. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to soak up the custard.
Step 3
Prepare the muffin tin: grease a 12 cup muffin tin with butter or cooking spray. Spoon the soaked bread mixture into each cup, filling almost to the top then bake the muffins: place the tin in a preheated oven at 350°F “175°C ” and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 4
Cool and serve: let the muffins cool slightly before removing them from the pan. Serve warm with powdered sugar, maple syrup, or fresh fruit.
FAQ’S :
Can I use fresh bread instead of day old bread?
Yes, but fresh bread may make the muffins softer. Toasting the bread lightly before using helps.
How do I know the muffins are done?
They should be golden brown on top, and a toothpick should come out clean.
Can I add fruit to the batter?
Yes, blueberries, diced apples, or even raisins work great.
Can I make these muffins dairy free?
Yes, just replace the milk with almond, soy, or oat milk.
