French toast muffins are quick and delicious, and is sure to become a new family favorite. Made with buttery croissants and topped with a yummy cinnamon streusel.

These french toast muffins are easy and use basic pantry ingredients. Soft and moist in the middle, with a crunchy streusel topping,

Can I use any kind of bread? Of course! You don't have to use croissants although I prefer the buttery flavor. But white bread, challah, french bread, or even raisin bread is delicious.
Can I add fruit or nuts? Yep! You can add blueberries, apples, or chopped nuts to these french toast cups.

Can I make these the night before? I recommend preparing everything but not combining it until ready to bake unless you're using french bread. The bread cubes are small and if left overnight in the egg mixture can fall apart.
Can I freeze french toast cups? Sure, wrap each muffin in saran wrap and place it in a ziplock freezer bag. Microwave or place in the toaster oven to heat for an easy breakfast.

These muffins were delicious!!!! I needed a "grab and go" morning treat where I volunteer. Because of that fact, I knew the syrup would not be a serving option. So, instead of the 2 tsp of vanilla extract in the egg mixture, I put 2 tsp of maple extract. I also added 1 tsp of maple extract to the streusel topping. (Adding liquid to the topping mix makes it a little gloppy, so you may need to refrigerate the topping a while and then crumble it.)
One more thing--- I prepped everything the night before (refrigerated, in separate bowls, the egg mixture and the streusel; cubed the croissants in a bowl left on the counter) which made everything easy to assemble and bake at 6am! Thanks for a great recipe!
I love nutmeg in my french toast. The cinnamon and nutmeg marry so well together in recipes. You can leave it out, the muffins will turn out fine.
Would it be okay to leave out the nutmeg or is it pretty important for flavor?
Yay Nilda! Its definitely one of our favorites 🙂
