Baked French Toast Muffins
Description
The Baked French Toast Muffins rely on French bread pieces absorbing a flavorful custard of milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. After an overnight soak in the refrigerator, the mixture sets into a soft, moist texture when baked. The cinnamon streusel topping, made from butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt, adds texture and a touch of sweetness, creating a contrast with the tender bread inside. Baking at 350°F until golden ensures a balance of creamy centers and crisp edges. Served warm with butter and maple syrup, these muffins offer a neat, handheld form of French toast that can be easily prepared in advance, making them suitable for busy mornings or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
For the Muffins:
- 1 French bread cut or torn into 1/2 inch cubes (about 12 cups of bread, loaf
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 6 egg large
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Cinnamon Streusel Topping:
- 1/4 cup butter cold
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch salt
- butter for serving, optional
- maple syrup for serving, optional
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- Grease a 12 cup muffin tin. Add about 1 cup of bread cubes to each muffin cup. Carefully pour egg and milk mixture evenly over each muffin tin. You may need to press down on the bread cubes after you pour a little mixture and then pour more. Pour slowly or you will have a mess. Or you can combine everything in a large bowl and then fill the muffin cups. Cover the muffins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. To make the cinnamon streusel, in a small bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Mix together with your hands, until you have a crumbly mixture. Remove the muffins from the refrigerator and sprinkle the muffins evenly with the streusel topping.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Let muffins cool for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and serve with butter and maple syrup, if desired.
