Ingredients
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup granulated sugar
4 cups bread cubes (preferably slightly stale; white or whole wheat)
1/4 cup melted butter
Optional: maple syrup for serving
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
-
Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until smooth and combined.
-
Combine Bread and Custard: Add the bread cubes to the custard mixture and stir until evenly coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes for the bread to absorb the liquid.

Fill the Muffin Tin: Distribute the soaked bread cubes evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
-
Add Melted Butter: Drizzle melted butter over the top of each muffin for extra richness.
-
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and set.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm with maple syrup or powdered sugar.

For a fun variation, add fresh or frozen berries, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips before baking.
