Ingredients
Scale
- 12 slices of white bread
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 Tablespoon light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter (melted, for greasing the pan)
- For filling:
- 1 Tablespoon sour cream
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 4 oz. softened cream cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/3–1/2 cup of small diced strawberries or blueberries
- For topping:
- 4 Tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (to taste)
- For glaze:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Brush cupcake pan with melted butter and set aside. This recipe makes 6 muffins.
- Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter, cut out the center of 6 slices of bread. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut out the remaining 6 slices of bread for the tops.
- To make the filling, stir together cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla, and sugar until smooth. Fold in the fruit and set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and vanilla. Dip the 4-inch rounds of bread in the egg mixture, then press into the center of a cupcake cavity. Repeat with the remaining rounds.
- Divide the filling between the cups.
- Now, use the 3-inch circles of bread, dip in the egg mixture, and place on top of the filling. Gently press the edges to adhere and press into the sides of the pan to seal well.
- Mix 1/4 cup of brown sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle generously on top of each muffin.
- Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown and crisp on top.
- Let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then remove from the pan and serve. If the muffins are slightly stuck to the pan, run a thin knife around each muffin.
- To make the glaze, stir powdered sugar and milk. If it’s too thick, add more milk, and if it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar to reach the desired consistency. Drizzle over the muffins.
Notes
- Make sure to use softened cream cheese for easy mixing.
- Fruit can be adjusted based on personal preference.
- These muffins are best served warm.
