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

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (180 degrees C). Butter a standard-size 6-muffin tin.

  2. 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.

  3. 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. 

  4. 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.
