Berry Crunch French Toast Cups

January 7, 2015 by Lindsay 31 Comments

Make these Berry Crunch French Toast Cups for a fun weekend breakfast recipe or bake a batch to reheat and enjoy in the mornings all week!

Hi friends!

Let’s chat breakfast shall we? I made these a couple weeks ago when my family was in town. The idea stemmed, yet again, from a stale Costco baguettte. Yep, the same one I made the Ribollita with! What can I say…those baguettes are big!

I’ve made french toast cups before but I took these to the next level with a bunch of fun mix-ins. The beauty is that they’re totally customizable so play around with the mix-ins to suit your family’s taste. Mix everything together the night before…then scoop into muffin tins and bake in the morning!

These Berry Crunch French Toast Cups are fancy enough for a weekend brunch, yet easy enough for a quick, grab-and-go weekday breakfast!

Here’s how I made mine:

So there you have it!

I used chopped almonds but my mom suggested slivered almonds might be a better choice.

These Berry Crunch French Toast Cups are fancy enough for a weekend brunch, yet easy enough for a quick, grab-and-go weekday breakfast!

My batch made 12 muffin cups and we each enjoyed 2-3 of them for breakfast! Next time I’m adding chocolate chips.

    I made this with Manna sprouted carrot raisin bread over the holidays (with extra carrots and chocolate chips, lol) and it was fantastic! I can’t wait till we have stone fruits again–I bet this would be perfect with some plums!

    After getting really sick after eating French toast when I was little, I didn’t touch it again till last year. Now I can’t get enough! Especially when they come in little cup size.

    This is a great idea for kids lunches or snacks on the go! I’m always looking for healthy snacks that are portable.

    These are so cute! Also, is it bad that when I first saw the title of this post I instantly thought of Captain Crunch Berries cereal? 😉

    These look scrumptious! I’d try them with blueberries and toasted, slivered almonds. And if they’re quick and portable – that’s a bonus.

    This is SUCH a great idea for bread that can’t be eaten quite fast enough! Do they keep for a while in the fridge?
