Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Base

  • 2 units Eggs (Choose fresh eggs for optimal taste)
  • 250 ml Milk (Substitute with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option)
  • 150 ml Heavy Cream (Use more milk for lighter muffins)
  • 100 g Sugar (Use brown sugar for a deeper flavor)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (Can be replaced with almond extract)
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon (Increase for stronger taste)
  • 300 g Bread, diced (Day-old brioche or challah bread works best)

Topping

  • 100 g Granulated Sugar (Mix with cinnamon to enhance flavor contrast)
  • 50 g Butter (To brush on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and prepare a 12-cup muffin pan by greasing or lining it.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined.
  3. Add Bread Cubes: Gently fold the diced bread into the wet mixture, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
  4. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin pan, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and set.
  6. Prepare Topping: While muffins bake, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  7. Finish Muffins: As soon as the muffins come out of the oven, brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over them.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the pan for easier removal and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Using day-old brioche or challah bread enhances the texture and flavor of the muffins.
  • Adjust cinnamon quantity according to your preference for more or less spice.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and cream with plant-based alternatives.
  • Brush muffins immediately after baking for best topping adherence and flavor.
  • These muffins can be served warm or at room temperature with butter or cream.
