Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 5 slices soft bread (medium thickness)
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup+1tbsp dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup semi-skimmed milk
  • 1 tablespoon demerara sugar (plus a little for sprinkling on top)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted, plus a little for greasing the pan)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F/ 190 C/ gas mark 5. Lightly grease a non-stick 6-hole muffin pan and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, vanilla and spice until well combined.
  • Add the bread pieces and stir until thoroughly combined. Set aside for 3 minutes then add the chocolate chips and give another stir. The egg mixture should have been fully absorbed and there shouldn't be any dry pieces of bread visible. If there are add a splash of milk. If on the other hand the mixture is still a little runny stir in a bit more bread.
  • Spoon the mixture into the muffin pan, drizzle a little melted butter and sprinkle some sugar over each muffin and bake in the centre of the oven for 25 minutes until golden and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven, leave in the pan for 2 minutes then run a spatula around each muffin and remove from the pan. Enjoy as they are.
