French Toast Muffins

French toast muffins are quick and delicious, and is sure to become a new family favorite. Made with buttery croissants and topped with a yummy cinnamon streusel.

This is an easy breakfast to pop in the oven and have it all done at once. Serve with some fresh fruit and woolah. Perfect for a lazy weekend or Christmas morning breakfast.

These french toast muffins are easy and use basic pantry ingredients. Soft and moist in the middle, with a crunchy streusel topping,

Can I use any kind of bread? Of course! You don’t have to use croissants although I prefer the buttery flavor. But white bread, challah, french bread, or even raisin bread is delicious.

Can I add fruit or nuts? Yep! You can add blueberries, apples, or chopped nuts to these french toast cups.

Can I make these the night before? I recommend preparing everything but not combining it until ready to bake unless you’re using french bread. The bread cubes are small and if left overnight in the egg mixture can fall apart.

Can I freeze french toast cups? Sure, wrap each muffin in saran wrap and place it in a ziplock freezer bag. Microwave or place in the toaster oven to heat for an easy breakfast.
