Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 slices of bread, cubed
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the muffins evenly.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin thoroughly to prevent the muffins from sticking and to help with easy removal once baked.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Soak Bread Cubes: Add the cubed bread to the egg mixture and stir gently until all pieces are well coated and soaked with the flavorful custard.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the soaked bread mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin compartments, filling each nearly to the top.
- Add Maple Syrup: Drizzle a generous amount of maple syrup over each muffin, adding sweetness and a beautiful glaze as they bake.
- Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are puffed up and golden brown on the top.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the tin before removing them. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can use any type of bread, but day-old or slightly stale bread absorbs the mixture better for a firmer texture.
- For a richer flavor, substitute whole milk with half-and-half or cream.
- Add toppings like chopped nuts, berries, or chocolate chips before baking for extra texture and taste.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the microwave or oven.
- If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the sugar or maple syrup according to taste.
