Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Muffins are soft, fluffy breakfast treats that capture the warm, buttery flavor of French toast in a handheld form. Finished with a cinnamon sugar coating, they’re perfect for brunch, meal prep, or a sweet morning snack.

Ingredients

  • For the muffins:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ½ cup plain yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • For the cinnamon sugar coating:
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (for dipping)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, beat sugar and eggs. Stir in milk, yogurt or sour cream, vanilla, and melted butter.
  4. Fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. While baking, mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl. Melt butter for dipping.
  7. Once muffins are slightly cooled but still warm, dip tops (or whole muffins) in melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Add a cube of cream cheese or fruit preserves inside for a surprise center.
  • Top with a vanilla glaze for added sweetness.
  • Make mini muffins for parties; bake for 10–12 minutes.
  • Try mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts for variation.
