Bread Pudding Muffins are little cups of heaven. Loaded with cinnamon flavor, crisp apples and raisins. Top off each muffin with a drizzle of maple syrup to make this muffin completely over the top on the delicious scale. These little guys are gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian-friendly.
I know, I know bread pudding is meant to be served as dessert. But who said I was a rule follower? Certainly not me or anyone who knows me.
Not that I don’t like rules, I just tend to take a few of them as suggestions. Like the suggestion, that bread pudding which tastes like french toast, which is meant for breakfast, should be served for dessert.
I am not saying you couldn’t serve these delectable morsels for dessert, I am all about diversity.
But for me, they were perfect in the morning served with a drizzle of maple syrup and gobbled up and washed down with a big ole’ cup of coffee or tea.
The apples and cinnamon throughout these muffins will make you a very happy camper. So, I hope you will make this for your family, they will be drooling all over the breakfast counter.
