Ingredients
Scale
French Toast Mix
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
- 1 cup thick bread (like brioche or challah), torn into pieces
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Topping (Optional)
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Add Bread: Fold the torn bread pieces into the mixture, ensuring that each piece is thoroughly coated with the egg and milk mixture for a rich texture.
- Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mug on high for about 90 seconds. Check the doneness by inserting a toothpick or seeing the texture; microwave longer in 15-second intervals if needed, until the bread is set but still moist.
- Cool and Serve: Let the French toast mug cool slightly before drizzling with maple syrup or adding fresh fruit as a topping to enhance flavor and sweetness.
Notes
- Use thick, sturdy bread like brioche or challah for the best texture and absorption.
- You can substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the microwave time depending on the power of your microwave to avoid overcooking.
- Optional toppings such as fresh berries, powdered sugar, or nuts can be added for extra flavor and texture.
- To prevent the mug from overflowing, use a large enough microwave-safe mug.
