I love breakfast! It’s my favorite meal of the day.  Savory or sweet. I like almost all breakfast foods. I’m ready to eat the moment I get out of bed.

That being said I don’t have a lot of time to make breakfast in the morning. So I stick to simple.

Yogurt, granola, muffins – they are all staples in our house. And I thoroughly enjoy them.

But one of my absolute favorite breakfasts is french toast. Growing up my mom made french toast almost every Saturday morning. It never got old.

Eggy and buttery goodness is how I think of french toast. Top it with maple syrup. Divine.

 I do make french toast once in a while now when we have breakfast for dinner. But not very often. Especially now with so many allergies. I don’t even have bread that my son can eat. So french toast usually isn’t even an option.

So I created a new version of french toast – in muffin form!

French toast muffins capture the flavor of french toast without needing bread. Plus they don’t involve standing at the stove, and they are easier for kids to eat.

 These muffins also make a very easy weekday morning breakfast. Make a big batch. Freeze them. They can go straight from the freezer into the oven for a few minutes. Dip the muffins into syrup or honey and breakfast is ready.

If you’re in a rush you can grab a muffin for the car. There is syrup in the muffin so it still tastes great without anything on top.

Do you need something different for school lunches? A french toast muffin pairs well with a cup of soup for a nourishing lunch.

No matter when or how you serve them french toast muffins are great. Now you can have french toast even if you can’t have bread.
