French Toast Muffins

Mornings are not always the best time for me to be cooking. I will completely admit I am not a morning type of person. It's normally around 10am before I wake up and start talking to people. Weekends always suit me a little bit better because I can wake up later, and I have more time to process things. Like Coffee! With that being said, I am normally a bag muffin type of girl. They are simple and only take about 15 minutes. I had this pin on French Toast Muffins and my husband is a huge fan of both. So, I thought I would try out my culinary skills. The recipe seemed easy enough.

Let me tell you, they are tasty. The muffins made it onto the keeper list, and they really didn't take that much more time to make than the bag versions (also you can't buy this flavor in the bag). The original post came from Velvet Lava Café. I did change a little bit of the recipe- only because I don't read directions, and I did agree with her that the topping can be cut in half. Hope you enjoy!



Ingredients:

Muffins
1/2 c. Sugar
1 1/2 c. All-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/3 c. butter, melted
1 egg
 1/2 c. milk

Topping
1/4 c. Sugar
1/4 c. butter, melted
1 tsp sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, sift together all dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and stir just until combined, but still a bit lumpy. Scoop batter into muffin tins that have sprayed with cooking spray (either 12 regular size muffins or 6 large muffins). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they just start to turn a bit golden at the edges.

For the topping, mix all ingredients in a small bowl, this will create a sort of frosting for the top of the muffin. Dip the warm muffins in topping mixture. Eat and enjoy!!
