Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Muffins:

  • 4 cups day-old bread, cubed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread:
    1. Cut day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
  2. Make the Custard:
    1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Soak the Bread:
    1. Add the bread cubes to the custard mixture. Gently stir to coat all pieces evenly.
    2. Let the bread soak for at least 10 minutes to absorb the custard.
  4. Preheat the Oven:
    1. Set oven to 350°F (175°C).
    2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  5. Fill the Muffin Tin:
    1. Evenly distribute the soaked bread mixture into the muffin cups, pressing down lightly to compact them.
  6. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
    1. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
    2. Drizzle melted butter over each muffin and generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
  7. Bake the Muffins:
    1. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until muffins are golden brown and set.
    2. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve:
    1. Let muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
    2. Serve warm or at room temperature with maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • Serving Suggestions: Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with honey, or serve with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the custard mixture and soak the bread cubes overnight for an easy morning bake.
  • Flavor Variations: Add a pinch of nutmeg, cardamom, or ginger to the custard for a unique twist.
