Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners for easy removal.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool slightly in the pan for 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, melt the butter.
- Coat the Muffins: While the muffins are still warm, brush the tops with melted butter, then dip them into the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat thoroughly.
- Serve: Enjoy your Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Muffins warm or at room temperature. Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea!
Notes
- For a more indulgent treat, feel free to add chocolate chips to the batter before baking!
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep your muffins fluffy and light.
- If you want a more crisp coating, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top after baking.
