Why This Dish Is So Satisfying
Kitchen Tips
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender.
- Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Directions
Lightly heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and either grease a 12-cup muffin tin lightly or line it with paper liners. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs just until combined, then stir in the milk, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until everything is well mixed. Pour in the melted butter and give it a good stir. Tear the bread into small pieces and add them to the bowl, mixing until the bread is fully soaked in the wet ingredients. Toss in the chocolate chips and chia seeds, then mix everything together. Spoon the batter evenly into your muffin cups and sprinkle a little brown sugar on top of each one. Pop the tray into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool slightly before enjoying!
