French Toast Muffin Cups

These French Toast Muffin Cups are addicting! They are soft and fluffy on the inside and perfectly crunchy on the outside. These make a great make ahead breakfast for kids on the go. They are also a great brunch option and are a fun breakfast during the holidays!

I like to use leftover croissants to make my muffin cups. You could also use challah bread, brioche or white bread. Just make sure the bread is a couple days old and stale. If not leave the cubed bread on the counter overnight to help dry it out.

how to make french toast muffin cups

• Preheat oven: To 350 degrees. Spray a regular sized muffin tin with non stick cooking spray, set aside.
• Make the muffin cups: In a large bowl combine the milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla and cinnamon. Gently toss in the cubed bread. Divide the mixture between the 12 muffin cups. There should be about 1/3 cup in each cavity.
• Streusel topping: Add butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt to a food processor. Pulse for a few seconds till the mixture begins to crumble. Alternately you can use a pastry blender or your fingers to combine the mixture. Sprinkle mixture on top muffins.
• Bake: 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.
• Serve: With a drizzle of maple syrup, butter, honey or powdered sugar.
• Store: Leftover muffins in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
• Freeze: Wrap individual muffins in plastic wrap and place in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: To reheat these muffins defrost at room temperature while the oven is preheating to 350 degrees. Bake for 10 minutes or until heated through. You can also reheat the muffins in the microwave.
