  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 slices of stale bread (preferably thick-cut like challah or brioche)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or any non-dairy alternative like almond or oat milk)

  • 1/4 cup sugar (granulated or brown sugar)

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1 tbsp butter (for greasing the muffin tin)

  • Optional: 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey for drizzling

  • Optional: 1/4 cup fresh berries or chocolate chips for added fun

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray.

  2. Cut the stale bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.

  4. Pour the egg mixture over the cubed bread and gently stir to ensure all the bread pieces are soaked. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.

  5. Spoon the soaked bread into the muffin cups, pressing down lightly to pack them in.

  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch. The tops should look slightly crispy and the centers soft.

  7. Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey for an extra burst of flavor, if desired. Serve with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream!

Notes

 

  • Stale bread is best: For the best texture and flavor, use stale bread! It will soak up the egg mixture without turning soggy. If you only have fresh bread, toast it lightly first.

  • Customize the flavors: Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg, swap in some chocolate chips, or fold in fresh berries for extra flair.

  • Make it a bake: Don’t have a muffin tin? You can easily turn this into a French toast bake by using a casserole dish instead—just bake for 25-30 minutes.
