Pumpkin Butter French Toast Muffins are a baked breakfast treat that are easy to make and delicious! You will love these golden and fluffy cups including the caramel butter topping that melds it all together.
Easy breakfast items that are simple to make are a great way to start your day. And what could be better than a warm muffin especially on a cool day. It's a great grab and go breakfast!
Making this recipe was inspired by my Pumpkin Pop Tarts as another grab and go idea. I'm also going to suggest trying these Mini Pancake Muffins that the kiddos will especially love!

Please see recipe card for quantities for these Pumpkin French Toast Muffins.
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl combine the milk, white sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon and pumpkin spice.
Once mixture is whisked until smooth, add the cubed challah bread and gently mix so bread does not fall apart.
Hint: Set aside to let the pumpkin-milk mixture soak in the cubes then make the topping.
Use a small food processor to combine the flour, brown sugar, butter and spices. Pulse until combined using short bursts of processor.
Have your oven preheated to 350 and coat a muffin pan with vegetable spray. Divide the cube mixture evenly in each cup (8) and then divide the topping in pieces over each. Bake for about 25 minutes.
Substitutions
Other breads can be used in place of Challah - try cubed croissants, brioche or white bread. Also applesauce could be used in place of the pumpkin butter.
Storage
Once the muffins are cool and if you have leftovers, keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 2 days. They can be warmed up in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds.
I have not tried freezing them.
Top Tip
You will get better results if the bread is not super fresh. I like to let the bread get a bit stale by letting the cubes sit out for a couple hours in a bowl if the bread is too soft.
