Make these soft, sweet Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Muffins. They taste like classic French toast but are baked in a portable muffin shape, perfect for a quick breakfast or cozy weekend brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mix 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons of the cinnamon. Set aside for the topping.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, melted butter, egg, 1 cup milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  6. Fill each muffin liner about two-thirds full with the batter.
  7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the muffins bake, prepare the dipping milk: pour 1/2 cup of milk into a shallow dish.
  9. Once the muffins are done, let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  10. While the muffins are still warm, dip the top of each muffin briefly into the milk, then immediately roll the milk-dipped top in the reserved cinnamon sugar mixture until coated.
  11. Place the coated muffins on a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can use day-old bread cubes mixed into the batter for a texture closer to baked French toast casserole.
  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk in the batter.
  • These muffins freeze well; cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
