Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 slices day-old bread, cut into small cubes
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Finishing

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Fill Muffin Cups with Bread: Evenly distribute the cubed bread into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for the custard.
  3. Make Custard Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
  4. Soak Bread with Custard: Pour the custard evenly over the bread cubes in the muffin tin, pressing down gently to help the bread absorb the liquid. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
  5. Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the centers are set.
  6. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Coating: While the muffins bake, mix 1/2 cup sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl.
  7. Coat Muffins: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and cool slightly. Brush each muffin with melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat thoroughly.
  8. Serve: Serve the cinnamon sugar French toast muffins warm, optionally with maple syrup or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Best made with slightly stale bread such as brioche, challah, or French bread for better texture and absorption.
  • These muffins are delicious on their own or can be served with maple syrup or fresh fruit for added flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture and taste.
