Delicious moist muffins with all the flavor of French toast! These baked French toast muffins are as delicious as they sound. Try them once and you can’t resist making them again and again!
It has all the flavor of a classic French toast but there is no standing at the stove. It has a delicious crunchy crumble topping and a soft center.
Perfect for easy breakfast, brunch or a quick snack.
I bake this easy french toast muffins recipe in a muffin form. It’s perfect for using up leftover brioche bread or regular stale bread (white or otherwise). Make sure to double check the exact ingredients in the recipe card below.
Start by greasing a muffin pan. You can also use muffin liners if you prefer. I didn’t use any and found they came out nicely.
Chop the bread into cubes. Divide the cubed bread into the pan and press it down firmly.
Take a small bowl and mix egg, milk, sugar and cinnamon together. Pour the mixture over the cups that are filled with the bread cubes. While the bread soaks you make the crumble.
Add butter, sugar and flour (and a little bit of salt) together and use your fingers to rub this into a crumbly mixture.
Sprinkle the streusel topping over the French toast mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 180˚C/350˚F (conventional oven) for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
It’s the perfect breakfast and delicious served as it is, but also great with fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup. You can also add some chocolate chips to the filling for a variation on the flavor.
It’s the perfect treat for days like Mother’s Day, Easter breakfast or Christmas morning.
These french toast muffins are best served right away. That way they still have that crispy finish but if you want you can store them at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Yes you can. Once they are baked you can wrap them properly and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat them in the oven until they’ve crisped up and are warmed through.

White sandwich bread works great, but slightly stale bread is even better because it absorbs the milk mixture well. Brioche or challah are also delicious options.
Absolutely. Small pieces of apple, pear, berries, raisins, or chocolate chips work very well. Add them between the bread cubes or mix them into the muffin cups before baking.
Yes, you can replace the milk with a plant-based alternative and use dairy-free butter for the crumble.
