French toast muffins on a plate.

I am reposting today the best French toast muffins because on occasion I need to update winning recipes. This one is from my May 2014 blog post. Betterrecipes.com was the original host of my recipe, but that site now seems to be undergoing changes and the link I had posted to the site is no longer working. I include my original recipe here now for comparison.

Here is the original recipe that won the contest.
