French Toast Muffins

French Toast Muffins

These French toast muffins are perfect for a delicious breakfast, a weekend brunch or an afternoon snack. Indeed they are pretty good any day and any time.

They are super easy to make using slices of bread dipped into a chocolate and egg mixture, baked until toasted and finally filled with sweet ripe berries, a scoop of cream and a drizzle of syrup what could be simpler or more yummy!

French toast is traditionally made using slices of bread that are soaked in a mixture of beaten eggs, milk and sugar, then the bread slices are then pan fried until browned.

For this recipe though, the bread is soaked in th mixture the same way, but then rather than pan frying, the bread is molded into a muffin case or tin and then baked until crispy.

The muffins are also hearty thanks to the bread which gives them a nice texture, and with all of those ripe berries, that add sweetness, tartness and juiciness all in one go!

As well as being delicious and easy to make, this recipe is super adaptable and can be changed to suit everyone.

  1. Vary the filling by using bananas, citrus fruits, mango, pineapple or chocolate.
  2. Change the bread to suit different diets such as keto or gluten free.
  3. Try a different syrup flavor, maybe you prefer strawberry or blueberry syrup, or maybe a sugar free.
