French Toast Muffins with a Sweet Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: The Perfect Comforting Culinary Option
These Easy Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Muffins are a convenient, handheld version of the classic French toast feel, perfect for busy mornings. With a tender crumb and a crisp, cinnamony sugar crust that melts in your mouth, they stand out for their warm comfort and irresistible texture.
Preparation
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing or lining a muffin tin. In a separate bowl, beat the room temperature milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and cooled, melted butter until you have a smooth, silky mixture.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until everything is well blended and speckled with cinnamon. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula just until combined.
While the muffins bake, mix the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with 2 tablespoons cinnamon in a small bowl to create the cinnamon sugar coating.
Baking
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
Once the muffins are out of the oven and still warm, gently dip each one into the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating it evenly to form the signature crunchy crust.
Versatility and Storage
The light Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Muffins are versatile, allowing for variations such as adding nuts or a citrus zest to keep the recipe fresh. Wrapped individually, these muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months. Cooled muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Enjoy these Easy Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Muffins best served warm, fresh out of the coating bath. They store beautifully in an airtight container if you want to enjoy them later.
Quick and Easy
With a preparation and baking time of under 30 minutes, these muffins are perfect for busy mornings. Be cautious if you add nuts or substitute ingredients, as these muffins do not contain nuts by default. Mix the wet and dry ingredients just until combined to avoid a dense or tough texture. Stir the batter gently to prevent a tough texture caused by gluten development.
