French Toast Muffins

French Toast Muffins with a Maple Cinnamon Streusel Topping are perfect with a drizzle of maple syrup and served with bacon on the side!
When it comes to breakfast, I typically choose sweet over savory which means options like pancakes and french toast are my go-to choices! Oh, and cinnamon rolls too! But typically it’s pancakes or french toast, especially french toast made with my homemade challah. Actually, I love french toast in any form whether it’s french toast casserole, stuffed french toast, or today’s recipe for French Toast Muffins with a maple cinnamon streusel topping. Oh boy, are they delicious!
Prep Time: 10mn
Cook Time: 25mn
Total Time: 35mn
MUFFIN INGREDIENTS
8-10 cups bread cubes (Use homemade challah, a 1 pound loaf of french bread or a 1 pound loaf of cinnamon raisin bread cut into bite sized pieces)
2 cups milk (I used 1%)
5 large eggs
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Handful of raisins *optional
MAPLE STREUSEL TOPPING INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons real maple syrup
DIRECTIONS
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl whisk together 2 cups milk, 5 large eggs, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
Place the bread cubes in a large bowl.
Pour the liquid mixture over the bread crumbs and use a large spoon to toss the bread with the liquid mixture.
Add in a handful of raisins if you wish.
Set aside.
Prepare a muffin tin by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
Make the streusel topping:
In a small bowl add in cubes of butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
Use your fingers or a fork to incorporate the butter into the ingredients.
Mix until you’re left with a crumbly topping, then stir in 2 tablespoons real maple syrup.
Set aside.
Use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to place a heaping 1/2 cup full of bread mixture into each muffin cup.
Repeat until all 12 muffins cups are full.
Divide the cinnamon mixture evenly among the muffins.
Bake for 23-25 minutes or until the tops of the muffins are a nice golden brown.
Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before serving.
To serve – drizzle syrup over each muffin.
Note:
These freeze great. Take them out the night before to thaw.
