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