Easy French Toast Muffins

Here is a simple recipe that makes weekday breakfasts a cinch! These taste best warmed in the microwave and are great with a little syrup!

Ingredients:
1 loaf of white bread (about 20 slices)
5 large eggs
1 cup vanilla almond milk (or any milk or milk substitute)
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar (or double up on maple syrup or use other sweetener instead)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
3 Tbs butter, melted (or butter substitute)
1 tsp maple flavor
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350. 
2. Grease muffin tin.
3. In large bowl, beat eggs and milk. Add all other ingredients, except bread, and mix thoroughly.
4. Cut or tear bread into bite-size pieces.
5. Add bread to egg mixture and stir to coat evenly--bread should be soaked in egg mixture.
6. Stir in chopped pecans,
7. Using spoon, scoop into greased muffin tin. For larger muffins (about 12) over-fill the muffin cups--they will not rise much.
8. Bake for 20-22 minutes.
