French Toast in Muffin Cups:

We love making a big breakfast on the weekends. We are so busy during the week, that we make a point sitting down as a family and having breakfast together. French toast is always requested by my family.

These French Toast Cups were easy to prepare. They were easy to serve and everyone loved because of the crispy outside edges but soft and warm on the inside.

You can even prepare them the night before and all you have to do is place them in the oven in the morning. The perfect breakfast idea for brunch and holidays as well.

Muffin Pan Recommendations:

My favorite cupcake pan is this one from Wilton.  You can also use a mini muffin pan to make these into min muffins. If you do use the mini muffin pan, just remember to cut the baking time in half.

I also love my silicone muffin pan for muffins. It is so convenient and clean up is a breeze.

French Toast Muffin Tips:

  • Powdered Sugar – We love to top the muffins with powdered sugar and syrup but this is optional.
  • Bread Options – When preparing your bread, use about 10 slices plus one heel then cut into chunks. You could even use old stale bread. Another option is to use different types of bread for different flavors or french bread.
  • Keeping it Moist – If you are afraid if your muffins drying out, you can add some melted butter to the top.
  • Milk Substitute – If you prefer you can use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Change the Topping – You can also mix brown sugar, vanilla and cinnamon together rather than white sugar. Make a streusel topping with cinnamon and salt and sugar.

Can you freeze French Toast Muffins?

Yes, you can freeze the muffins. Store in a freezer safe container. When you are ready to serve, let them thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Then heat up in the microwave in 30 second intervals.

  1. These were delicious!
    I topped mine with bacon to up the protein (cut it up, cooked it, and added it on top during the last 5 minutes of baking).

    An absolute hit!
