Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups bread cubes about 4 slices of day-old bread
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup plus extra for serving
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the bread cubes to the egg mixture and gently fold until all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.
  4. Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
  5. Drizzle the melted butter and maple syrup over the tops of the muffins.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm with additional maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use brioche or challah bread instead of regular sandwich bread.
  • You can also add a pinch of nutmeg for an extra spice kick.
  • To make these muffins ahead of time, prepare the mixture the night before and refrigerate it. In the morning, just bake them fresh!
