1-Getting these Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Muffins just right is all about a few simple steps that anyone can follow, even if you’re new to baking. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and greasing or lining a 12-cup muffin tin this sets the stage for easy baking. In one bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon to mix the dry goods evenly.

2-Next, in another bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, eggs, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract until everything is smooth and blended. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, stirring gently just until combined remember, avoiding overmixing keeps the muffins tender and fluffy. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full, then pop them in the oven to bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

3-After baking, let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the tin. Dip the tops in a cinnamon sugar mixture made from 1/2 cup sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon cinnamon for that signature crunch. If you want a crispy finish, broil the tops for 2 to 3 minutes, but keep a close eye to prevent burning. Each muffin clocks in at about 220 calories, making them a smart pick for a simple sweet breakfast.
