This is a great way to use up any mini muffins that you bought, but haven’t touched, even though you swore you wouldn’t waste them. Not only is this adult-friendly, but it’s 100% kid-friendly! You can make these for your child in the morning, or turn them into a charcuterie board for them to enjoy during their next sleepover. Imagine a board of these French toast bites, fresh-cut fruit, bowls of hot fudge, maple syrup, whipped cream, and much more! You would be the best mom ever, and your house would be the designated house for gatherings.

My daughter very much enjoyed these. Then again, any toddler wouldn’t turn this down. She kept reaching for more, as did my husband. I promised my co-workers I would bring them some, and I was left with enough for one per person! I felt terrible; I’m planning on making these again just for them.

These little treats are sweet and taste just like French toast. Dare I say it’s better than the classic French toast? It’s so easy to prepare since you don’t need much effort.

Ingredients for French Mini Muffin Toast Bites

• Mini Muffins: Any flavor will do! Chocolate chip, blueberry, and banana nut are good examples. I wouldn’t recommend corn mini muffins, as they will fall apart really easily when battered because of how crumbly they are.
• Light Brown Sugar: This adds that sweetness and gives that beautiful caramelization you love seeing on French toast.
• Whole Milk, Ground Cinnamon, Eggs, Ground Nutmeg, Salt, Vanilla Extract: The custard mixture for these delectable bites. You can use almond milk for a dairy-free option. It’ll give more flavor to the bites.

Tips & FAQs

• Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze: Store in a freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• Can I make this dairy-free? Absolutely! Oat milk or almond milk are great options. They can give more flavor to the French toast bites.
• What to Serve This With: These are best served with maple syrup and fresh-cut fruit. You can also serve this with hot fudge, whipped cream, ice cream, etc.
• Wine Pairings:
  • The best choice is a dry bubbly wine. Prosecco, Cava, or Cremants are great options. You can turn each one into a mimosa!
  • A Moscato d’Asti is another great choice. It’s not too sweet, and it’s fizzy, but not bubbly.
  • For Non-Alcoholic Options: Peach iced tea is a perfect pairing. Another one is white grape juice, which is my favorite type of juice. Want a mocktail for kids? Use orange juice and club soda for a mimosa mocktail! If you want more of a cafe feel, pair these with a hot latte, chai latte, or hot chocolate.
