Make classic French toast flavors portable with these simple, baked cinnamon sugar muffins. They are perfect for quick breakfasts or weekend brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cubed day-old bread (Brioche or Challah recommended)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • For Topping: 1/4 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. Place the bread cubes evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This is your custard mixture.
  4. Slowly pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes in the muffin tin, allowing the bread to soak up the liquid for about 5 minutes. Press down gently if needed to submerge the bread.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the topping sugar and cinnamon until uniform. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the top of each muffin cup.
  6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the centers are set.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale or day-old bread for the best texture; fresh bread can become too soggy.
  • For a grab and go breakfast, these muffins store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days.
  • You can add 1/2 cup of blueberries to the custard mixture before pouring if you want a variation.
