Ingredients
  

4 cups French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes

3 large eggs

1 cup milk (whole or any preferred milk)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

2 tablespoons sugar (for topping)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.

    Prepare Bread: In a large bowl, combine the cubed French bread. Set aside.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes and gently toss until the bread is completely coated. Let it sit for about 15 minutes, so the bread absorbs the liquid.

          Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the soaked bread mixture evenly among the muffin cups. Fill each cup about 3/4 full.

            Make Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, sugar, and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over each muffin.

              Add Butter: Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the muffins for added flavor and moisture.

                Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are puffed up and lightly golden.

                  Cool & Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm, optionally drizzled with maple syrup or topped with whipped cream.
