🥞✨ Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Muffins ✨🥞

Ingredients:

For the Muffins:

• 1 loaf of day-old bread (French bread or brioche works well), cut into cubes
• 6 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Pinch of salt

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Make the Muffins:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3. Add the bread cubes to the egg mixture and gently fold until the bread is well coated. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the liquid.
4. Spoon the soaked bread mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup to the top and pressing down slightly to compact the mixture.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and set in the center.

Make the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

Finish the Muffins:

1. As soon as the muffins come out of the oven, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the tops of the muffins.

Make the Glaze:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
2. Drizzle the glaze over the muffins.
