French Toast Breakfast Muffins Recipe
modified from allrecipes.com
*recipe can be doubled, as shown in photographs
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg (preferably room temperature)
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 1/2 cup milk
Topping
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350.
Sift together all dry ingredients into a medium-large bowl. Add wet ingredients and stir just until combined. It’s okay if the batter is still a bit lumpy. Do NOT over-mix. Over-mixing will toughen the overall texture of the finished muffins.
Prepare your muffin tins by spraying with cooking spray and scoop batter in. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they start to turn a bit golden at the edges.
For the topping, mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt butter and set aside in another small bowl. Dip warm muffins into the melted butter. You can just do the tops, but it’s even yummier to dip the whole muffin. Then dip/roll into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
I used my ice cream scoop to portion out the batter into my muffin tins. The batter is very sticky and thick, but makes for a very rich muffin.
Here are the finished muffins, ready to be dipped into the melted butter and cinnamon-sugar mixture.
First, dip into the melted butter, then the cinnamon sugar.
The muffins are lightly crispy and a little crunchy on the outside, and rich and buttery on the inside. Serve as is, or add a little syrup and enjoy!

Those French Toast muffins looks perfect and delicious! I can’t wait to try them.
Looks heavenly! My two brunch favorites are french toast and muffins. This is paradise for my taste buds! 🙂 Looks like I can handle this recipe too! Will give it a try! 🙂
Oh those look so good. I could make a batch for the kids to take for breakfast all week.
Yum French toast in muffin form, doesn’t get any better then this, awesome treat!
Wow! These do sound amazing! French toast is one of my favorite breakfast meals. I just don’t make it ver often. These would be perfect for a brunch. Thanks for the recipe!
Man, these look absolutely amazing! A perfect recipe for a day like today. It’s chilly and all I want to do is eat comfort food!
I have never heard of French Toast Muffins, but WOW!! What a neat recipe! I love the French Toast flavor, so, I can’t wait to make these, great to have that flavor ready when I am 🙂
I rarely make french toast as it seems to take forever and can be on the messy side when the boys are involved. Love the idea of the flavor in a muffin, though.
French toast is my favorite breakfast flavor (besides coffee). This looks so delicious and easy to make — I plan to try it next weekend, thanks!
These muffins sound delicious! Definitely combining 2 of my family’s favorites.
I have been trying to find more grab and go breakfast foods for my teenage son. He likes french toast sticks, but I am not fond of buying too many processed foods. These muffins will be perfect!
Yum, these look delicious. Muffins for breakfast, what a great idea, I cannot wait to give these a try. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
This sounds like a great combination of flavors!! I love muffins for breakfast.
What a great quick on the go breakfast! These look so yummy. I’m pinning this recipe now. Thanks for sharing!
Fresh nutmeg makes everything amazing! These look great.

These look delicious. Great for a quick breakfast. Will be making them for my family.
Yum! These look delicious, love the topping on them!
Recipe saved! MY Family me and my all male family (1 hubby and 3 boys) will need the double batch! But that will be worth it, they look YUMMY, I wish we had smell-i-vison!
I never would have thought of this recipe. It sounds tasty.
What a delightful wonderful recipe to try. I like how cute they look and will for sure be making these. A nice hot cup of coffee and these muffins will make my day!
I like how light the inside of the muffins look. The flavors would be great!
These looks so good and it looks like a great recipe to make and take to the Christmas morning breakfast at my aunt’s.
The French Toast muffins look delicious, love to try! TY
These are awesome, I would get up early to make them for the holidays.
I am in love with this recipe! I wonder if they would be even lighter if you separated &peaked your egg whites them folded them in at the end. What if you cooked bacon up and added some bacon into the muffin. The possibilities are endless. THANK YOU for this awesome recipe! My family will be so happy when I serve these. With a crew like we have it takes a good deal of time to cook off french toast for all of them. Then you have to decide weather to hold the ones you have made in the oven to keep them warm or if you will feed the masses in waves. Then someone is always feeling left out. Sometimes I cut the french toast into strips and feed 2 strips or 1/2 a slice at a time. These muffins will make it SO much easier! 2 muggin tins in and out at the same time we all eat at the same time done and done! Thank you thank you!

I love French Toast. When I saw that Kim had featured you from last week’s Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop I was glad — and wondered however did I miss them? That’s what team work is all about. She found a treasure and I am glad. Pinned this to two of my boards. My breakfast board and our group Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop board, too!
