Have I mentioned that I got a new deep freezer? If I haven’t I must be crazy because I’ve been thinking about it and obsessing over it for the last two weeks! So for the last week or so I’ve been making breakfast items that are easily freezable. I put the excess in the freezer and have quick and easy breakfasts the entire week and beyond.
These French Toast Muffins were one of the first things that I made. B is a huge French Toast fan and M likes everything that looks like a dessert so I figured they’d be a win with the whole family, and I was totally right. They were also really easy to make and the homemade vanilla syrup was the perfect topping.
First you whisk together 2 cups of all purpose flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg and a pinch of salt.
In a separate bowl whisk together 2 eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup melted butter and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract.
Make a well in you dry ingredients
Then pour in the wet ingredients.
Mix the ingredients together, be sure not to over mix. Fill your muffin pans halfway and bake for 10-15 minutes or until a fork inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Using a fork poke holes in the top of the finished muffins and smother it with the homemade vanilla syrup and dust it with powder sugar.
