  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings:

  • Whipped cream
  • Powdered sugar
  • Fresh berries
  • Maple syrup
  • Chopped nuts

Instructions

Ready to bake? Let’s get these Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Muffins in the oven.

 

  1. Preheat the Oven :First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your muffins will bake evenly. Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients :In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Give it a quick whisk to evenly distribute the baking powder and salt throughout the flour.
  3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients :In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. This mixture gives the muffins that rich French toast flavor.
  4. Combine the Ingredients :Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—overmixing can make the muffins dense rather than light and fluffy.
  5. Fill the Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. This allows room for the muffins to rise without overflowing.
  6. Bake the Muffins: Pop the muffin tin into the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. To check if they’re done, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin—if it comes out clean, they’re ready!
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. You can top them with whipped cream, a dusting of powdered sugar, or even a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.

Notes

  • Make It Your Own: Feel free to get creative with toppings! Fresh berries, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream can make these muffins even more special.
  • Storage: Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. Just thaw and warm them up when you’re ready to enjoy!
  • Mix-Ins: If you want to add a bit more texture, throw in some chocolate chips or chopped pecans to the batter.
