    Have you ever noticed how quite a few words that describe a person with a winning personality tend to have a magical tone to them. Someone can be charming or enchanting, or even glamourous. We're mesmerised or entranced by them. They've put a spell on us with their grace, beauty, or sophistication. I suppose to some people it comes quite naturally to be charming, but for an introvert like me, it's takes a lot of energy.

    Sometimes it's easier to just show up with a box full of sugary treats. People are sure to like you and you hardly have to make any delightful conversation. Kitchen witchery really adds to your arsenal when it comes to getting people on your side. I'm not saying you should manipulate people with cookies, but it's a surefire way to raise someone's vibration. When you can't always be charming with words, see if you can enchant someone with a muffin. It seems to work every time.

    What makes French Toast Muffins so awesome?

    These French Toast Muffins are light and almost cake-like. They do have more of an eggy flavor (because French toast) and also a hint of cinnamon. They're not overly sweet, but a drizzle of maple syrup gives them a deep richness. I like to dust them with a bit of powdered sugar as well, but then I definitely have a sweet tooth. Do what makes you happy.

    The thing I love about muffins is they can be made ahead and are totally portable. That makes them easier to share than actual French toast and more convenient to eat anytime, anywhere. If I want to bring a Sunday brunch vibe to a business meeting, I can bring these along. If I'm running late and need to stuff my face in the car, muffins are where it's at, baby. They're versatile and delicious.

    Magical Properties of Maple

    Real, pure maple syrup is a rare and precious thing. Taken right from the heart of a tree, it holds that trees essence beautifully. With its sweetness, maple syrup can be used as an attracting element in any spell. Maple wood is often used in wand making, and the tree holds the energy of love, prosperity, logevity, and more. One old spell directed new parents to pass a child through the branches of a maple tree for blessings of longevity. (Source: Element Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells by Judika Illes)

    Ingredients

    Here's everything you'll need to make these French Toast Muffins. All the details are in the recipe card below.

    Tips for Making French Toast Muffins

    We're using a basic muffin method here, unsurprisingly. Bring all your dry ingredients together in one bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients in another bowl, then add the wet to the dry and stir together gently, working out the big lumps but not over mixing.

    These muffins have quite a lot of lift, so you can't fill them right up like you would other muffin batters. Half to two-thirds for each muffin cup should do it. Bake until puffed and golden and a toothpick comes out clean. While they're still warm, drizzle some maple syrup over each muffin. Yes, this will make them a bit sticky, but it also adds a deep sweetness that French toast muffins definitely need.

    French Toast Muffins are simple and delicious and perfect to eat anytime, anywhere. How awesome is that?

    • Method: Baked
    • Cuisine: American
    • Diet: Vegetarian

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • ¼ cup sugar
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 cup buttermilk
    • ¼ cup butter, melted
    • Maple syrup and powdered sugar

    Instructions

    1. Preheat your oven to 400F (200C), and put your favorite papers into 12 muffin cups.
    2. In a large mixing bowl, gently whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
    3. In a smaller bowl or a large measuring cup, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter.
    4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a rubber spatula until just combined. A few lumps are not the end of the world.
    5. Scoop the batter into your muffin papers, filling each one about half way. These muffins rise beautifully, so don't overfill.
    6. Bake for 12 minutes or until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean.
    7. Once your muffins are out of the oven, drizzle a little bit of maple syrup over each muffin so that it can soak in. Allow to cool 15 minutes or so. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
