Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg, stirring in sugar until well blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter, whisking until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter.
  6. Bake muffins for approximately 15 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. While cooling, mix sugar and cinnamon for coating in a shallow dish.
  8. Dip the tops of muffins in the cinnamon sugar mixture after they have cooled for about 5 minutes.
  9. Serve warm, optionally paired with butter or maple syrup.
