French Toast Muffins Recipe
Description
This recipe combines cubed bread—such as white, challah, brioche, croissants, or cinnamon raisin—with a custard of milk, cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. The bread absorbs this mixture, similar to traditional French toast soaking, preparing it for baking in muffin tins.
The muffins are topped with a streusel made from flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter, which bakes into a crisp, sweet crust that contrasts the tender, moist interior. Baking at moderate heat for 25-30 minutes yields evenly cooked muffins with a golden topside.
These muffins serve well as a breakfast treat, portable option for on-the-go eating, or a sweet snack. They can accommodate various bread choices, influencing texture and flavor subtly.
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup milk whole
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt kosher
- 6 cups bread white, challah, brioche, croissants or cinnamon raisin, dried, cubed
Topping
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the cubed bread to the egg mixture, and toss gently to combine. Scoop a ⅓ cup of the mixture into each muffin well.
- Meanwhile, to make the topping, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, break the butter into small pea-size clumps. Sprinkle the streusel mixture over the tops of the muffins.
- Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing and serving.
