French Toast Muffins
Description
French Toast Muffins begin by chopping bread into small pieces, which absorb a custard mixture made from eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Using stale or a variety of breads can affect the flavor subtly and help with soaking. The soaked bread is divided into muffin tins, topped with cinnamon sugar, then baked until golden brown at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes.
This method yields muffins with a softly set interior and a slightly crisp top layer from the cinnamon sugar sprinkled before baking. Serving options include maple syrup, butter, or powdered sugar to enhance the sweet and spiced flavors.
These muffins offer a portable and visually appealing way to enjoy French toast without the need for pan-frying, making them suitable for breakfast or brunch occasions.
