Cinnamon-Raisin French Toast Muffins
These tasty cinnamon-raisin French toast muffins are a great way to serve French toast, leaving plenty of room on the plate for some fresh fruit and maybe a slice of bacon on the side. They are tender and moist on the inside, just like French toast, but with a little crunch on the top from the streusel. The cinnamon-raisin bread amps up the flavor, but you can use challah, brioche, or a baguette, if you prefer. Refrigerate any leftovers in a sealed container.
