Baked Blueberry French Toast Cups

These Baked Blueberry French Toast Cups are a fun twist on traditional French Toast!

Sometimes you just need to do something because it sounds fun. That’s why I made these Baked Blueberry French Toast Cups. It sounded fun. French Toast baked in a muffin tin? Yes! Fun, right?

I love that my kids are getting to an age where they are remembering life events and wanting to start/continue traditions. The last few years we’ve gone blueberry picking and a few weeks ago Luke asked when we were going this summer. 

I’m pretty sure that blueberry picking is going to be on our list of things to do every summer.

Both kids love it and this year they had fun giving me recipe demands ideas. 

Their idea was blueberry pie. I wanted Baked Blueberry French Toast Cups. They might still get their pie. We came home with seven pounds of blueberries, after all! 

I didn’t use special bakery bread for these cute little cups, although you totally could and it would be lovely. I used the end of a loaf of our standard sandwich bread. A while ago I discovered Dave’s Killer Bread, and it’s got the best ingredient list of any store-bought sandwich bread I’ve found and it’s really good! So that’s what I used here.

Let’s be honest…if you’re going to make Baked French Toast Cups on a random day, you’re going to use whatever bread you have in the pantry. Totally acceptable. 

 

These Baked Blueberry French Toast Cups are slightly crisp on the outside and soft (but not mushy) on the inside. We eat them with a fork, but you could totally eat them with your hands like pull-apart bread. 

They don’t need any maple syrup on top, but I gave them a light brushing of it. It added a bit more sweetness, so it’s up to you if you want to do that. Either way, I think you’re going to love these!

Have some fun and try these Baked Blueberry French Toast Cups!
