French Toast Cups Recipe
on Sep 26, 2014, Updated Jan 01, 2024
If you are needing a great breakfast idea these French Toast Cups made in a muffin tin will be perfect. My kiddos did not have school today (teacher in service day) so I decided make them a hot breakfast this morning. Everyone of them loves french toast. So last night I whipped up a batch of these French Toast Cups, placed them in the fridge and then placed them in the oven this morning. Everyone thought they would be sleeping in but it was not long before I head the feet coming down the stairs to see what smelled so good. Yup… the smell from these french toast cups woke them without me having to, ha ha!
French Toast Cups Recipe
These French Toast Muffins were so simple and great for feeding my whole gang. I will be watching for marked down french bread in the bakery more often. These were absolutely delish! We poured on the syrup but the flavor was so wonderful that my hubby grabbed one while on the way out the door this morning and commented that no syrup was needed.

We have some family coming in from out of town over the holidays and we will need to feed a crowd at brunch time. These tasty French Toast Cups are going to be PERFECT for serving so many.

The ingredients needed for you to make your own French Toast Muffins is pretty simple…your normal ingredients for french toast. I highly recommend the french bread as it will soak up the mixture and still keep some texture.

1 loaf French bread

4 Eggs

How long can you leave them prepped in the fridge?
I would love to make these as part of my Mother’s Day brunch. Can they be baked the day before and reheated?
I want to make these for a church meeting. Once they are cooked, could I keep them warm on Low in my crockpot during the meeting?
Hi Michele! If you decide to do this, I would leave the lid cracked so you do not allow condensation to get on your cups. It will get them wet.
