French Toast Muffin Cups
French Toast Muffin Cups are a delicious twist on simple French toast, presented in a convenient muffin form.
Ingredients
- 6 slices of bread white, whole wheat, or brioche work well
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk or milk alternative
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional toppings: maple syrup powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or nuts
Instructions
- Set the temperature of the oven to 175 C (350 F). Grease a muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
- Slice the bread into little cubes. You can go for stale bread for better texture, but fresh bread also goes well.
- In a mixing bowl, mix the eggs, sugar, cinnamon, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until throughly combined.
- Add the bread pieces into egg mixture and gently mix until all the bread is coated. Allow it sit for around 10 minutes so the bread soak up the liquid.
- Evenly distribute the mixture of bread among the muffin cups, with each around 3/4 full.
- Cook in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are a golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Before removing the muffin cups, let them cool for a few minutes in the pan. You can try it with toppings of your choice like fresh fruit, powdered sugar or maple syrup.
