Ingredients

2 large eggs
4 slices gluten-free cinnamon bread
2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup powdered sugar

How To Make

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line the muffin tin with muffin liners.

2. Prepare the eggs.

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl.

3. Mix the ingredients.

Add 2 tablespoons milk, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the eggs. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.

MIX IT UP: Swap 1/2 teaspoon of allspice, nutmeg or cloves for the cinnamon. Swap 1 tablespoon of brown sugar for the granulated sugar.

4. Cut bread.

On a cutting board, slice the bread into thirds both horizontally and vertically. The goal is to make small bread cubes.

You could also simply tear the bread into bite-sized chunks.

MIX IT UP: Use cranberry orange bread, banana bread, or other flavored bread for a different spin on this recipe. You could even use stale bread.

5. Mix bread.

Stir the bread cubes into the bowl with the egg mixture. Coat all the pieces of bread with the egg mixture.

MIX IT UP: Add a handful of peeled and chopped apples, nuts, or dried fruit to the mixing bowl at this step.

6. Place mix into muffin tin.

7. Bake.

Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. While the muffins are baking, mix together the glaze.

To make the glaze: mix the powdered sugar with 1 teaspoon of milk.

Pour the glaze over muffins in the muffin tin after you remove from the oven. Serve warm!

FAQs:

How do I store French toast muffins?

Place the leftover muffins in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

Can you reheat muffins?

Absolutely. My family loves these muffins straight from the oven but they are also just as tasty reheated. Make a double batch, store the leftovers and then reheat when ready to eat. To reheat, microwave for 45 seconds or until warm.
