day-old bread, cut into small cubes

milk
granulated sugar
brown sugar
vanilla extract
ground cinnamon

Directions

I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a muffin tin. I spread the bread cubes evenly into each muffin cup.

In a mixing bowl, I whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. I slowly pour the mixture over the bread, pressing gently so everything gets soaked.

I drizzle the melted butter over the top and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, until the muffins are set and lightly golden. Once baked, I let them cool slightly before removing them from the pan.

Variations

I sometimes add chocolate chips or blueberries to the bread mixture for extra flavor. When I want a richer version, I use half-and-half instead of milk. I also like sprinkling chopped nuts on top before baking for added crunch.

Storage/Reheating

I store these muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, I warm them in the microwave for about 20 seconds or in the oven until heated through.

FAQs

Can I make French toast muffins ahead of time?

I often bake them the night before and reheat them in the morning.

I freeze them once fully cooled, and they keep well for up to 2 months.

How do I keep the muffins from sticking?

I make sure to grease the muffin tin well or use paper liners.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

I use plant-based milk and dairy-free butter, and it turns out great.
