A fun twist on the classic breakfast dish, Air Fryer French Toast Muffin Cups have all the flavors of the traditional French toast you know and love. This quick breakfast is made with simple ingredients and ready in under 30 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, add the milk, cream, eggs, vanilla, salt, and sugar and mix until incorporated.
Add the bread cubes and gently toss in the egg wash to coat.
In a separate small bowl, cut the butter into small pea-size pieces using a fork, pastry blender or your fingers. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and flour and mix to make the crumble topping.
Scoop half a cup of bread cubes into each silicone muffin liner (you'll use 6 liners). Top with the crumble mixture, dividing evenly between the muffin cups.
Carefully place the muffin cups in the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes.
Let cool before serving.
Notes
You can substitute any sturdy bread for the cinnamon swirl bread, like a French baguette, brioche or challah.
Don’t over soak the bread or it will become soggy and fall apart.
Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar, maple syrup, butter or chopped fresh fruit.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Reheat in the microwave in 30 second intervals until heated through or in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Muffins can be frozen for up to 2 months. Flash freeze cooled muffins for 1-2 hours before transferring to a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating in the air fryer or in the microwave for 30-second intervals until heated through.
