Wash your hands before starting.

In a large mixing bowl, add 1.5 cups of whole milk, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 5 eggs, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

Whisk the mixture together until well combined and set it aside.

Cut up 6 cups worth of cubed gluten-free bread (Canyon Bakehouse country white bread).

Add the cubed bread into your wet mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.

Grease a muffin tin well to prevent sticking.

Fill each muffin cup to the top with the mixture.

Prepare the streusel topping by combining 1/4 cup of cold salted butter, 1/4 cup of light brown sugar, 1/4 cup of gluten-free flour, and a dash of cinnamon and salt in a food processor.

Pulse the mixture until it becomes a crumble.

Distribute the streusel topping evenly amongst all of the muffin cups.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for about 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow the baked French toast cups to sit for about 5 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.
