Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 6 slices of bread, cubed
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
For Serving
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Bread and Mixture: Add the cubed bread to the bowl and gently stir to coat all pieces thoroughly. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes so the bread can absorb the liquid.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the soaked bread mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin. Drizzle the melted butter over the tops of each muffin cup to add richness and help with browning.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and firm to the touch, indicating they are cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Dust with powdered sugar for a sweet finish and serve warm.
Notes
- Use slightly stale bread for better texture and absorption.
- You can substitute milk with almond milk or other dairy-free alternatives if desired.
- For added flavor, consider mixing in raisins or chopped nuts before baking.
- Serve with syrup or fresh fruit for an enhanced breakfast experience.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
