👨🍳 How to Make French Toast Muffins
- Preheat Oven & Prep Pan
Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. - Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. - Prepare Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk the egg. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla; whisk until smooth. - Combine Batter
Add the dry mix into the wet mixture. Stir with a spatula until just combined—don’t overmix! - Fill & Bake
Divide batter evenly into muffin cups (about ⅔ full). Bake for 20–22 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes. - Make the Topping
Mix cinnamon and sugar in one bowl; melt the butter in another. - Finish the Muffins
Brush warm muffins with butter, then roll or dip into the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.
✨ Serve warm, share happily, and enjoy the compliments rolling in. Want to explore flavor twists like maple syrup drizzle or spiced apples folded into the batter? I’ve got those, too—just say the word.
