If you feel you need a little somethin’, somethin’ to satisfy your sweet tooth, but you don’t wish to sabotage your diet, then by all means, give these muffins a try.  They will hit the spot.  Serve them warm with a cup of hot, unsweetened tea.

8 Slices of whole-wheat bread (I use Ezekiel brand.)

2 cups Egg Beaters or egg whites (or 8 whole eggs)

2 cups plain unsweetened almond milk or unsweetened vanilla almond milk

2 Tablespoons brown sugar

3 teaspoons cinnamon

2 Tablespoons vanilla extract

Cooking Spray (for coating the muffin tin)

Preheat oven to 375F.  Line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners.  Spray them with cooking spray to coat.

Break or cut the slices of bread into very small pieces and place them in a large bowl.

In another bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients.  (Using a bowl or large glass measuring bowl with a lip will make it easier to pour the liquid mixture into the muffin tins.)

Pour the egg mixture ingredients over the bread pieces and stir to coat completely.  Allow the bread time (at least 30 minutes) to soak in as much of the liquid as possible. 

Carefully place the mixture in the lined, sprayed muffin tin. 

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is crispy and a toothpick comes out clean when you insert it.
