Ingredients List:

For the Muffins:

  • 4 cups day-old bread, cubed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • Β½ cup heavy cream
  • ΒΌ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

  • ΒΌ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Step-by-Step Instructions (Detailed):

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
 Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking. 🧁

Step 2: Prepare the Custard Mixture
 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.

Step 3: Add Bread
 Gently fold cubed bread into the custard mixture. Let it soak for 5 minutes so it absorbs all the liquid.

Step 4: Fill Muffin Tin
 Divide soaked bread mixture evenly into muffin cups. Press lightly to compact each muffin for even baking.

Step 5: Bake
 Bake for 25–30 minutes until tops are golden and set in the center. ⏰

Step 6: Make the Topping
 Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Step 7: Finish the Muffins
 Brush each muffin with melted butter immediately after baking, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Step 8: Serve
 Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy on its own or drizzle with maple syrup for extra sweetness. 🍁

Pro Tips:

  1. Make Ahead: Prepare the custard-soaked bread the night before for a quick morning bake.
  2. Bread Swap: Use brioche or challah for a richer, fluffier texture.
  3. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for a fresh-baked feel.
