Maple Orange French Toast Muffins with Sourdough Bread

Preheat oven to 350 F. Place liners (optional) in a 12-cup muffin pan and oil them with cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl whisk milk, 1/2 and 1/2, eggs, vanilla, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and orange zest.

Cube or tear bread into 1-inch pieces and stir into the egg mixture. Scoop into the muffin pan. This will make 12 heaping muffins in a standard tin. Top with the chopped walnuts and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Bake uncovered, in the middle of the oven until golden and cooked through, about 25-30 minutes.

Serve warm, dabbed with butter (optional) with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkling of powdered sugar, and fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.
