Blueberry Pie French Toast Muffins
Blueberry Pie French Toast Muffins
We’re longtime French toast fans in our home, so when my daughter, Scarlett, started school I tried to maintain the routine by making the French toast in the evening and then reheating the slices in the morning. Eventually, I created these muffins—using the flavors in my favorite blueberry pie recipe—as a more efficient way to keep my girl’s beloved morning meal on rotation. —Laura Keogh, author of The School Year Survival Cookbook
