Say hello to my new favorite breakfast! Not only is it incredibly delicious, but it pleases the whole family – even my picky toddlers! – and can be frozen and reheated for individual breakfasts on the go. And it’s FRENCH TOAST in a cute little MUFFIN. What’s not to love here??
These tasty little breakfast beauties are made in about 35 minutes and only call for 6 – that’s right SIX – ingredients. You’ll want to use thick sliced Texas toast style bread for this recipe. That’s my number one tip for soft and fluffy, never overly dense, French toast muffins.
Slice the bread into cubes and place it in a large bowl. Next you’ll whisk together eggs, vanilla, sugar, and some Horizon Organic Whole Milk and pour it over your bread cubes. I encourage my family to live a healthy lifestyle by fueling them with ingredients I know are delicious and nutritious, like Horizon Organic Milk. Knowing I’m packing wholesome goodness into these French toast muffins makes me that much happier about my family devouring every last one from the batch.
Once you’ve got the bread and egg mixture all tossed together, fill your muffin tin, being sure to pack each one really full – don’t be afraid to let the bread cubes extend above the pan, the higher the better! Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over the top (my favorite part!) and bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown and your kitchen smells like cinnamon-sugar heaven.
Drizzle with syrup or sprinkle with powdered sugar for the ultimate family-friends breakfast treat. Let any extras cool completely before wrapping and freezing for quick and easy individual breakfasts throughout the week! These Baked Cinnamon French Toast Muffins are completely delicious and so easy to make, I know you and your family will go nuts for them!

Baked Cinnamon French Toast Muffins
Ingredients
- 14 slices Texas toast style bread
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups Whole Milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons sugar - divided
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- powdered sugar or syrup for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 12-cavity muffin tin. Cut bread slices into cubes and place in a large bowl.
- In a medium bowl whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla, and 3 tablespoons sugar. Pour over bread cubes, then gently stir to coat all the cubes in the egg mixture. Fill muffin tins with soaked bread cubes, packing gently to fill all of the cavity space.

- Serve warm topped with powdered sugar or syrup. To freeze for later, wrap individually in plastic wrap. To reheat, unwrap and microwave for 30-60 seconds.
Delicious. Recipe was easy to follow. My girls and I made it for breakfast – it was a huge hit.
Can I make these french toast muffins the night before and then bake the next day?
You can prepare them the day before. I recommend letting them rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking on the day-of.
It’s become a tradition that I get up early on my husband’s birthday and make these. They are his FAVORITE and surprisingly easy!
That’s wonderful! Glad you guys enjoy them.
Loved it and made a triple batch 2nd time and added pumpkin pie spice also to the 2nd batch, both ways are awesome.
Question…how do you get the inside middle to not be mushie? I love crunchy so really cooked way longer than 20, even flipped after all outside done and middle still somewhat mushie? The only think I did different was very small amount of extra vanilla…
I’m not sure if you can get it less mushy. French toast muffins and casserole are naturally more moist in the center.
