Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 cups cubed bread (preferably day-old)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Powdered sugar, for topping (optional)
- Fresh fruit or maple syrup, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the cubed bread into the egg mixture and gently stir to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
- Divide the soaked bread mixture evenly into the muffin cups and drizzle melted butter on top of each.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and set in the center.
- Let cool slightly before removing from the tin. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh fruit or maple syrup if desired.
Notes
- Use brioche or challah bread for richer flavor.
- Letting the bread sit in the mixture helps it soak up more flavor.
- Great for meal prep—store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer.
