Ingredients Needed:
- 3 cups flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup shortening (like Crisco)
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups sugar (for coating)
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 2 sticks butter (melted)
How To Make Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Muffins:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 12 muffin cups.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- Prepare the batter: In a separate bowl, cream 1 cup of sugar and shorten it. Add the eggs and mix until combined. Then, alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
- Bake the muffins: Fill the prepared muffin cups 2/3 full with the batter. Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Coat the muffins: Melt the butter in a bowl. In another bowl, combine the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and cinnamon. Once the muffins are baked and still warm, dip each muffin in the melted butter and coat thoroughly, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Recipe Tips
- Use room-temperature eggs and milk for a smoother batter that mixes well.
- Make sure the muffins are still warm when dipping them in butter so the coating will stick better.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter if you want extra cinnamon flavor in the muffins.
- If you don’t have shortening, you can substitute it with softened butter.
- Be careful not to overfill the muffin cups to prevent overflow while baking.
How To Store Leftovers
Storing in the Fridge: Store cooled muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Freeze muffins in a zip-top bag or airtight container for up to 2 months.
