One of my least favorite things to do is stand over a griddle and flip pancakes or French toast. Thankfully I avoided it with French toast that’s baked in a muffin pan. This recipe is fast, easy, and perfect for brunch or a holiday breakfast, but it’s do-able even on busy weekday mornings. The French toast muffin cups are slightly chewy and barely crisped on the outside, and remains soft on the inside. The pieces of bread hold together remarkably well, although we had no problem devouring them, pull-apart style. And they’re portable so when you’re late leaving the house for work or school, it’s an easy grab-and-go breakfast. Not that I’m ever late trying to get out of the house…
Ingredients You’ll Need
This recipe is on the lighter side. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk which keeps the recipe dairy-free, there’s only 2 tablespoons of sugar in the batter, and I used sugar-free syrup sweetened with aspartame. For people like me who like a little French toast with our bottle of syrup, low calorie sweeteners are the way to go and can be a handy tool for people trying to reduce sugar.
Eggs Milk – I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk Light brown sugar Granulated sugar Ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Bread – I used regular whole wheat bread
