This recipe is for all those people who believe in eating dessert first! Is breakfast too early for a cupcake? I think not! This French Toast Cupcakes recipe was originally posted over on Mommysavers.com. It’s a fun way to use up day-old bread. Plus, you’ll win extra points with your kids if you give them cupcakes before school!
Frugal Tips: Look for French bread on the reduced bakery rack at Walmart. I can get it for around $1 per loaf!
Ingredients
- ½ loaf French bread, cubed (or any kind of stale or day-old bread)
- ½ C. sour cream
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 1¼ C. half and half (use milk to make it even more frugal)

- ¼ C. maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
