Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
- Spoon the mixture into a muffin pan sprayed with non-stick spray.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter muffin, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. If you prefer a different fruit, try substituting the apple with mashed bananas or grated zucchini. For added texture, you can mix in some chopped nuts or seeds. Ensure that the bread is stale for better absorption of the liquid, which will help achieve a moist muffin.
Serving Suggestions
These breakfast muffins are excellent on their own but can be served with a dollop of yogurt or a spread of peanut butter for added protein. They pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a smoothie. For a heartier breakfast, enjoy them alongside scrambled eggs or an avocado toast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes. This will help retain their moisture and fluffiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat bread instead of regular bread?
Yes, whole wheat bread can be used as a healthier alternative. It will add more fiber and a nuttier flavor to the muffins. Just be mindful that the texture may be slightly denser than with white bread.
How can I make these muffins dairy-free?
To make these muffins dairy-free, simply substitute the milk with a plant-based alternative such as almond milk or oat milk. Additionally, ensure that the bread you use is also dairy-free.
Can I freeze these breakfast muffins?
Absolutely! You can freeze the muffins before or after baking. Just make sure they are completely cooled, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To eat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat.
