Savory Bread Pudding Muffins: A Delicious Twist on a Classic Favorite

Ingredients

• 4 eggs of a significant size
• 2 cups of milk
• ¾ cup of white sugar
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon of salt
• 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter
• 6 slices of bread left to stale
• ½ cup of chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
• ¼ cup of brown sugar, adjust as required.

Step 1

Preheat your oven to a toasty 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and prepare your 12-cup muffin tin with a light grease or paper liners for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a spacious bowl, gently whisk the eggs until just blended. Then, pour in the milk, a touch of white sugar, a hint of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, stirring until everything harmoniously combines. Melt some butter and mix it in for a touch of richness.

Step 3

Tear the bread into small pieces, adding them to the bowl and carefully mixing until the bread is thoroughly soaked. Enhance the mixture with a handful of chocolate chips and a sprinkle of chia seeds, stirring until all ingredients meld together seamlessly.

Step 4

Evenly distribute the mixture into the awaiting muffin cups, then generously sprinkle some brown sugar on top for a sweet, crispy finish.

Step 5

Allow the muffins to bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, indicating their readiness, which should take roughly 20 minutes.
