6 slices cinnamon bread, crusts trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Muffin Ingredients
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon maple extract
2 cups flour
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Heat oven to 375°F and spray a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray
Combine all French Toast topping ingredients in medium bowl and set aside.
Combine milk, melted butter, 1 egg and maple extract in another medium bowl.
Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Stir milk mixture into flour mixture just until mixed.
Spoon batter into greased 12-cup muffin pan. Spoon French toast topping evenly over batter and smoosh it down slightly.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Immediately brush muffins with maple syrup.
Combine sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Sprinkle over glazed muffins. Cool 5 minutes and then remove from pan (I like to run an offset spatula around the edges to loosen them up). Serve warm.
