Stuffed with juicy blueberries and cheesecake flavours — YES I said CHEESECAKE (sorry for yelling), and a crispy streusel topping…these were like muffins without the mixing and beating.

Hands down beats porridge in the morning.

Nothing beats french toast in the morning. Ok…well maybe pancakes and crepes come in close behind…but for those of you with bad-ass sweet teeth like me…these win.



So, here’s the breakdown in my MC Hammer pants.


First….spread the ‘cheesecake’ flavoured spread onto each piece of bread. Meditate while doing so — with eyes wide opened.


Cut them into 1-inch little cubes of cheesecake goodness.

Add them into your super sexy egg wash. Mix around. Add blueberries. Smell those vanilla smells.

Spoon them (yes…spoon), into a muffin tray. Sprinkle with Streusel (or not, but so freaking good with Streusel for an incredible crispy and crunch sweet top). Add some-more blueberries on top. Bake in your oven.

Okay. So drizzle is the minimum. More like drown, maybe.


Or do as normal people do and watch the gloriousness of a perfect full French Toast muffin on your plate.

Proceed to rap in your best 90’s voice, You can’t touch this.’ Drown in more maple Syrup, because it’s breakfast, and breakfast requires syrup. Right?


Split it open to see those blueberries burst all through your muffins.

Ingredients

Cheesecake Spread:

  • 4 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice

French Toast Muffins:

  • 8 slices sandwich bread (280 g | 101/2 oz)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups skim/low fat milk (or almond milk)
  • 1/4 cup sugar (or a Natural granulated sweetener to lower calories/carbs)
  • Pinch of salt (optional - about 1/4 teaspoon))
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • Extra lemon juice of 1/2 a lemon (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries + 1/4 cup extra for the top

Streusel Topping:

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup cold butter

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180C | 350F; line a 12-cup non-stick muffin tray with muffin liners OR spray with cooking oil spray; wipe over excess and set aside.

For Muffins:

  • Combine cream cheese, 1 teaspoon sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl; mix to combine.
  • Spread cream cheese mixture over 1 side of each slice of bread. Sandwich two slices together at a time and cut each sandwich into 1-inch cubes. (You should end up with 8 cups of cubed bread).
  • Whisk the eggs, milk, 1/4 cup of sugar, salt (if using) and vanilla together in a large shallow dish. Add the bread and mix it through the egg wash (using your hands is easier than a spoon), until all bread is thoroughly soaked. Drizzle extra lemon juice over the top (optional), and gently fold through the blueberries. Using a spoon, fill the muffin cups with the french toast mix (about 3 tablespoons per muffin hole). Set aside and make your streusel:

To make Streusel:

  • Combine the sugar and flour in a small bowl; cut in butter using a metal fork until crumbly. Sprinkle over muffins. Top with extra blueberries.
  • Bake muffins 20-30 minutes, or until streusel on top has turned golden in colour. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan 5 minutes, or they may fall apart when taken out too soon.
  • Serve straight away with maple syrup.


Notes

These can also be served with ice cream, frozen yogurt or extra fresh blueberries. Alternatively, store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Reheat in the oven when needed following instructions above. (Microwaving the muffins to reheat them creates a soggier muffin rather than the crispy freshly baked muffin and is not recommended).
