Ingredients

1 loaf French bread, cut into cubes

4 large eggs

1 cup milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned)

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Powdered sugar for dusting

Maple syrup for serving

Directions

Prepare the French Toast Mixture:

In a large bowl, I whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined. Then, I add the bread cubes to the mixture, gently stirring to coat each cube. I let the mixture soak for about 10-15 minutes to ensure the bread absorbs all the flavors.

Prepare the Peach Mixture:

In a separate medium bowl, I combine the diced peaches with brown sugar and ground nutmeg. I stir well to mix all the ingredients, making sure the peaches are coated evenly.

Assemble the French Toast Bites:

I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners. Then, I fill each muffin cup halfway with the soaked bread mixture. Afterward, I add a spoonful of the peach mixture into each cup and top it with more of the bread mixture. This creates layers of French toast and peach goodness.

Bake:

I drizzle the melted butter over the top of each muffin cup and bake the bites in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and set. The smell of cinnamon and peaches baking is simply irresistible!

Serve:

Once out of the oven, I let the bites cool slightly before dusting them with powdered sugar. I serve them warm with a drizzle of maple syrup on top.

Variations

I love the flexibility of this recipe. Here are a few variations to make it your own:

Berry Cobbler French Toast Bites: Swap the peaches for mixed berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries.

Nutty Crunch: Add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the peach mixture for an extra crunch.

Vegan Version: Use a non-dairy milk, like almond or oat milk, and replace the eggs with a flaxseed mixture or egg replacer.

Spiced Up: Add a pinch of ground ginger or cloves to the peach mixture for a spiced kick.

Storage/Reheating

To store leftover bites, let them cool completely and place them in an airtight container. They’ll last in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, I like to pop them in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to warm them up without losing the crispy texture. You can also microwave them for about 20-30 seconds, but the texture might not be as crispy.

FAQs

Can I make these Peach Cobbler French Toast Bites ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the French toast mixture and peach mixture the night before and store them separately in the fridge. In the morning, just assemble and bake. This makes for an even quicker and easier breakfast or brunch.

Can I use frozen peaches?

Definitely! Frozen peaches work just as well as fresh peaches. Just make sure to thaw and drain them before using, so the mixture isn’t too watery.

Can I make this recipe without a muffin tin?

If you don’t have a muffin tin, you can bake the mixture in a greased 9×9-inch baking dish. Just reduce the cooking time slightly, checking for doneness around 20 minutes.

Can I add other fruits to the mixture?

Yes! I like to mix in some berries, or even try pears or apples for a different flavor twist. Just adjust the sugar slightly depending on the sweetness of the fruit you use.

How do I know when the French Toast Bites are done baking?

The French Toast Bites are done when they’re golden brown on top and the edges are crispy. You can insert a toothpick into the center, and it should come out clean.
