Notes

  • Muffin Texture: These muffins are soft and fluffy, like a cross between a cake and classic French toast.
  • Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze muffins (without the coating) for up to 2 months. Reheat and coat before serving.
  • Maple Glazed Version: Drizzle with maple syrup glaze instead of the cinnamon-sugar coating.
  • Stuffed Muffins: Add a cream cheese filling or Nutella inside for extra flavor.
  • Crispy Top Option: Broil for 1-2 minutes after coating for a caramelized crunch.
  • Dairy-Free: Use almond milk and vegan butter for a dairy-free version.
  • Pumpkin Spice Muffins: Swap cinnamon for pumpkin spice and add ¼ cup pumpkin puree to the batter.
