Ingredients
  

1 loaf of day-old bread (French or brioche works best)

4 large eggs

1 cup milk (whole or almond)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or line with paper liners.

    Prepare the bread: Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.

      Make the egg mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

        Combine the mixtures: Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes and gently fold the bread to coat evenly. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes so the bread can soak up the egg mixture.

          Fill the muffin tin: Divide the soaked bread mixture equally among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

            Prepare the cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the packed brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the muffins.

              Add melted butter: Drizzle the melted butter over the top of each muffin to create a beautiful, crispy finish while baking.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                  Cool slightly: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Optional serving tip: If desired, dust the muffins with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.

                      Enjoy your delectable Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Muffins with a side of syrup or fresh fruit!
