Baked French Toast Muffins combine cubed French bread soaked in a mixture of milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon, topped with a crumbly cinnamon streusel. The result is a tender, custardy interior with a golden, slightly crunchy topping. These muffins offer a convenient, portioned twist on classic French toast suitable for breakfasts or brunches when prepared ahead and baked to golden perfection.

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.
