Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of day-old bread (preferably brioche or challah)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut the loaf of day-old bread into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size. If the bread is too fresh, leave it out for a few hours to dry or toast it lightly in the oven for about 10 minutes.
- Place the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and whisk until well beaten.
- Add 1 cup of whole milk to the eggs and whisk until smooth.
- Incorporate 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk until fully combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes and gently fold to coat all the bread.
- Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the egg mixture.
- Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
- In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon.
- After resting, add 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter to the bread mixture and fold it in.
- Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the bread mixture, packing it down slightly.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the top of each muffin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust cooled muffins with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
- Pair with crispy bacon or sausage links for a delightful breakfast or brunch.
- If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
