How to Make Nearly Guilt Free French Toast Muffins
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook 4 slices of bacon in a frying pan or griddle until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together: 1 cup almond milk, ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ¼ cup honey, 1 large egg, and 2 large egg yolks.
- In a clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the wet ingredients, followed by the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Chop the cooked bacon into small, bite-sized pieces. Reserve 1 bacon strip for garnish; stir the remaining bacon into the batter.
- Grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Fill each cup about ¾ full with batter.
- Sprinkle the reserved bacon bits evenly over the top of each muffin.
- Bake for 12-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While muffins bake, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine ¼ cup maple syrup and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Remove muffins from oven and let cool slightly.
- Once cool enough to handle, poke a few holes in the top of each muffin with a toothpick.
- Dip each muffin top into the maple glaze, then dip again for extra glaze coverage.
