Y’all know quick and easy recipes are my jam and if you couldn’t tell, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day! Don’t get me wrong, lunch and dinner, and especially dessert, are cool and all, but there’s just something so wonderful about enjoying a delicious breakfast to start my day.
While I love all things breakfast, I’ll be the first to admit that French Toast definitely has my heart! From this delicious Overnight French Toast Casserole to these festive Pumpkin Spice French Toast Sticks, French Toast is always a crowd-pleaser and just oh so yummy!
Made with only 6 ingredients (I know, I know, not quite a 5-ingredients or less recipe bummer), these french toast muffins are super easy to whip up and I’m almost positive that you probably have everything you need for this recipe in your pantry already!
Here’s what you need to make these easy French Toast Muffins:
Prepping The French Toast Muffins
Once you have all of your ingredients, preheat your oven to 375°F.
To start, prepare your muffins by taking your sliced bread and chopping it into cubes. I like to cut the bread into thirds and then cut each third into 3 pieces. If I’m using a larger slice of bread, like from a loaf of sourdough, I’d cut the slice of bread into fourths and then cut each fourth into thirds.
If you’re anything like me, you may have kiddos who loathe leaving the crust on their sandwiches. To avoid as much waste as possible, save those extra crusts and freeze them. Once you have enough, simply thaw and you can use the crust to make these french toast muffins!
Next, spray your muffin tin with non-stick spray or use some of these silicone baking cups, and evenly distribute your bread cubes into each muffin tin and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, and mix until well combined.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring spoon, pour 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into each muffin cup, ensuring that the cubed bread in each cup is fully saturated.
Next, top each muffin with a handful of diced strawberries.
Pop your muffin tin into the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes. Once the muffins are ready, you will be able to stick a toothpick in the center of each muffin and it should come out clean.
Allow your muffins to cool for at least 5 minutes before attempting to remove from the muffin tin!
Serve with warm syrup and enjoy!!
