Easy French Toast Muffins

Freshly_baked_French_Toast_Muffins

The first time I created these French Toast Muffins, I was frantically preparing for a holiday brunch with my in-laws while juggling a toddler who kept wrapping himself around my legs. Traditional French toast was out of the question, who has time to stand over a griddle flipping bread slices while entertaining? Inspiration struck when I spotted a day-old loaf of challah bread and my muffin tin sitting side by side. Why not combine the two? After several test batches (my neighbors were delighted taste-testers), I perfected these portable breakfast gems that capture everything wonderful about French toast the cinnamon-kissed custard interior, the slightly crisp edges, and that unmistakable warm vanilla aroma all in a convenient, portion-controlled form. They’ve since become my signature contribution to breakfast potlucks and the most-requested weekend treat from my now-teenage son and his friends. Let’s try this recipe together and discover how these muffins bring all the comfort of traditional French toast with none of the flipping, standing, or waiting!
