Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 cups cubed bread day-old or stale bread works best
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk whole or 2%
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Add the cubed bread to the mixture and stir gently to coat all pieces. Let sit for 5–10 minutes so the bread soaks up the mixture.
  4. Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, pressing down gently to compact.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and set in the center. Allow to cool slightly.
  6. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Brush warm muffins with melted butter, then dip or sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mix.
  7. Serve warm or store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving for best texture.

Notes

You can add mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or berries to the bread mixture for a twist! Great for prepping ahead of a busy week.
