Are you craving the comforting taste of a warm, cozy breakfast? Look no further! We have just the treat to satisfy your morning cravings – our mouthwatering Cinnamon Raisin French Toast Muffins.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, or as needed for greasing muffin cups
2/3 cup half and half
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 cups tightly-packed cubed cinnamon raisin bread
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup maple syrup, or to taste (optional)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (180 degrees C). Butter a standard-size 6-muffin tin.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together half and half, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt until well blended. Add bread cubes to liquid mixture; stir to coat all bread pieces. Divide batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin.
To prepare streusel, toss flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Cut cold butter into small pieces, then toss with flour mixture. Using a fork or pastry knife, cut the butter into the dry ingredients, until the mixture looks like a combination of coarse sand and small pebbles. Distribute streusel evenly over the 6 muffins.
Bake muffins in the center of the preheated oven until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool muffins on a rack for 5 minutes. Drizzle with maple syrup, and serve warm.
