Ingredients
Cheesecake Spread:
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
French Toast Muffins:
- 8 slices sandwich bread
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups skim/low fat milk or almond milk
- ¼ cup sugar or a natural granulated sweetener
- ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ medium lemon, juiced extra, optional
- 1 cup fresh blueberries + ¼ cup extra for the top
Streusel Topping:
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup flour
- ¼ cup cold butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180C | 350F; line a 12-cup non-stick muffin tray with muffin liners OR spray with cooking oil spray; wipe over excess and set aside.
Cup of Yum
For Muffins:
- Combine cream cheese, 1 teaspoon sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl; mix to combine.
- Spread cream cheese mixture over 1 side of each slice of bread. Sandwich two slices together at a time and cut each sandwich into 1-inch cubes. (You should end up with 8 cups of cubed bread).
- Whisk the eggs, milk, ¼ cup of sugar, salt (if using) and vanilla together in a large shallow dish. Add the bread and mix it through the egg wash (using your hands is easier than a spoon), until all bread is thoroughly soaked. Drizzle extra lemon juice over the top (optional), and gently fold through the blueberries. Using a spoon, fill the muffin cups with the french toast mix (about 3 tablespoons per muffin hole). Set aside and make your streusel:
Cup of Yum
To make Streusel:
- Combine the sugar and flour in a small bowl; cut in butter using a metal fork until crumbly. Sprinkle over muffins. Top with extra blueberries.
- Bake muffins 20-30 minutes, or until streusel on top has turned golden in colour. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan 5 minutes, or they may fall apart when taken out too soon.
- Serve straight away with maple syrup.
Notes
- These can also be served with ice cream, frozen yogurt or extra fresh blueberries. Alternatively, store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Reheat in the oven when needed following instructions above. (Microwaving the muffins to reheat them creates a soggier muffin rather than the crispy freshly baked muffin and is not recommended).
