These French toast muffin cups are warm, custardy, and cinnamon-spiced with golden, crispy tops. Made with simple pantry ingredients and baked in a muffin tin, they’re easy to prep ahead and kid-approved. Serve with maple syrup, fruit, or powdered sugar!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 6 cups cubed bread (day-old brioche, challah, or French bread work best)

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup milk (any kind)

  • ¼ cup heavy cream (or more milk)

  • ⅓ cup maple syrup or brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

  • Optional toppings: powdered sugar, maple syrup, berries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with silicone liners.

  2. Place cubed bread in a large bowl.

  3. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, maple syrup (or brown sugar), vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg if using.

  4. Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes and stir gently to coat. Let soak for 5–10 minutes.

  5. Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, pressing down gently so they hold their shape.

  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and set.

  7. Let cool for 5 minutes, then carefully remove from the tin. Serve warm with toppings of choice.

Notes

  • These reheat beautifully — just pop them in the microwave or toaster oven.

  • For extra sweetness, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top before baking.

  • Great for brunch buffets or making ahead for busy mornings.
