Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 slices of bread, cubed
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Bread with Egg Mixture: Add the cubed bread into the egg mixture, stirring gently to ensure all pieces are coated. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the soaked bread mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups. Drizzle the melted butter over the tops for added flavor and richness.
- Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm for a delightful breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can use any type of bread, but slightly stale bread soaks up the custard better.
- Feel free to add mix-ins like raisins or chopped nuts for extra texture.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
