Cinnamon Sugar French Toast

Set oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with oil spray.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, stir melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.

Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb.

Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Bake for 20 minutes or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

While muffins bake, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.

Once muffins are slightly cooled but still warm, brush tops with melted butter and immediately dip each muffin in cinnamon sugar to coat thoroughly.

Serve muffins warm for best flavor and texture.
