Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup plus extra for drizzling
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 12 slices white bread crusts removed and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners or coat it thoroughly with non-stick spray.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sugar, and maple syrup until well incorporated.
- Gently fold the cubed bread into the mixture, ensuring even coverage, and allow it to rest for 1–2 minutes so the bread can soak up the liquid.
- Combine a portion of the cinnamon and sugar in a separate small bowl for topping.
- Distribute the bread mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, then sprinkle each with the cinnamon-sugar blend.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the muffins are set in the center.
- Let them cool slightly before serving, and garnish with powdered sugar or a generous drizzle of warm maple syrup, if desired.
