# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Muffin Mixture
01 -
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
02 -
4 large eggs
03 -
1 cup whole milk
04 -
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
05 -
1/2 cup heavy cream
06 -
1/4 cup white sugar
07 -
4 cups of stale bread, cut into small chunks
→ Cinnamon Topping
08 -
2 tablespoons of melted butter
09 -
1/4 cup white sugar
10 -
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Chop up that stale bread into squares that are roughly 1 inch in size. Place them in a bowl to the side.
02 -
Combine eggs, milk, heavy cream, white sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a big mixing bowl. Stir it up with a whisk until it’s smooth.
03 -
Toss your pieces of bread into the custard mix. Stir just enough to coat everything, then let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the mixture.
04 -
Turn on your oven to 350°F (or 175°C). Grease each cup of your 12-cup muffin pan or line with papers so they’re ready for the batter.
05 -
Spoon the soaked bread into the muffin tin, splitting it between the cups evenly. Pack it down just a little so it holds its shape.
06 -
Stir together the sugar and cinnamon for the topping in a small dish. Lightly drizzle melted butter on top of each muffin before sprinkling on the cinnamon sugar generously.
07 -
Bake in the heated oven for around 20-25 minutes. They're done when the tops are golden and a test toothpick comes out clean.
08 -
Give them a few minutes to cool in the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Perfect to eat warm or cooled, and even better with a bit of syrup drizzled on top!
# Extra Information:
01 -
Want to save some time? Make the custard mixture ahead of time and soak the bread overnight.
02 -
Add a bit of flair by including spices like cardamom or nutmeg.
03 -
Serve these up with a dusting of powdered sugar or a spoonful of whipped cream for something more indulgent.
