Notes

Bread - Any bread will do for this recipe but just know that if the bread is very moist it may result in extra soft French Toast Muffins.
Crunch - Add a little crunch to the top of your muffins by adding a sprinkle of Turbinado Sugar before baking.
Storing - You can store leftover muffins in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezing - To freeze French Toast muffins simply place in a freezer friendly bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat-- take the frozen muffin and bake for 5-10 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit until warmed through. Or simply place in the microwave and heat in 30 second increments.
