Ingredients

  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 3/4 cups Milk - Low Fat
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, Divided
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 8 slices Whole-grain Bread ( Or Crusty Artisan Bread) Cut Into 1 Inch Cubes
  • 1 cup Fresh Or Frozen Blueberries
  • 1/3 cups Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Grated Orange Zest
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl. Add milk, honey, vanilla, half of the cinnamon and the salt and mix together. Add the bread cubes and stir until bread becomes moist. Let bread sit for 5 minutes.
  • Spray a 12-count standard size muffin tin with non-stick spray. Divide bread mixture into the muffin cups. Bake until muffins start to turn golden and egg has set (approximately 20-25 minutes).
  • While the muffins are baking, prepare the blueberry sauce in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir together blueberries, maple syrup, remaining half of the cinnamon and orange zest. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Add cornstarch and continue to simmer for about 1 minute more, until sauce is slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
  • Top warm French toast muffins with blueberry sauce and serve right away. Extra blueberry sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
