    Pumpkin French Toast Muffin Cups

    There's something so cozy about these Pumpkin French Toast Muffin Cups! They take all the best parts of classic French toast: soft bread soaked in a sweet custard, and then they're given a warm, fall twist with pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. They make the perfect breakfast or brunch on a cool autumn day!
    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Cook Time: 25 minutes
    Total Time: 40 minutes
    Servings: 12 muffin cups

    Ingredients

    • 3/4 cup whole milk
    • 4 large eggs
    • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
    • 2 tsp vanilla
    • 1 cup pumpkin puree
    • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
    • 6 cups cubed bread, I used croissants. White, challah or brioche would also work

    Streusel Topping

    • 1/4 cup butter, cold
    • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
    • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
    • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

    Instructions

    French Toast Muffin Cups

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a regular sized muffin tin with non stick cooking spray, set aside.
      In a large bowl combine the milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla, pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice.
    • Gently toss in the cubed bread making sure to cover all of the pieces of bread with the pumpkin custard.
      Divide the mixture between the 12 muffin cups. They should be pretty full. That's ok!
    • Prepare the streusel topping and sprinkle on top of the muffins.
      Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing.
    • Serve immediately with maple syrup and powdered sugar if desired.

    Streusel Topping

    • Add butter, brown sugar, flour and pumpkin pie spice to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is crumbly, set aside until ready to sprinkle on top of muffins.

    Notes

    Use day old bread. Slightly stale bread, like croissants, challah, or brioche, absorb the custard better and give the muffins a nice texture! Just like with my Eggnog French Toast Bites thicker sturdy bread works best!
    Fill the muffin tin generously. It's okay if the muffin cups look pretty full! These French toast cups bake up really nicely and hold together well because of the custard.
