Breakfast happens to be one of my favorite meals of the day. Even though I love it, it seems so difficult to get on the table. Despite my best “night before” planning efforts my mornings are always rushed. Maybe that’s why I love breakfast for dinner. I can actually enjoy my meal.
Speckled English Muffin French Toast are a favorite at my house! English muffins give French Toast a different texture than French bread does. Raisins are an added bonus!
Of course this is yummy for breakfast. I really do love it for dinner though. For one thing, if dinner is drenched in sugary syrup I don’t have to worry about making dessert! Some days I don’t get that far on my to do list. (By the way making dessert is usually in my top 5 things to do everyday. Somewhere near exercising and showering!)
Sometime this week save yourself some time and throw Speckled English Muffin French Toast together for dinner. Fry a little lot of bacon and you are set!

I used corn english muffins for the first time to make french toast and it was great! My husband suggested it so I can’t take credit but you’re right it does make the best french toast.
I love English muffins anyways so I knew I would love them in French Toast!
Quick and easy, have to love it. Like it you said, it is like having dessert for breakfast and or dinner.
Maybe you could share your buttermilk syrup recipe with everyone. They would love it, it is super yummy.

Hi, Amy! I love this idea! I always keep English Muffins on hand because my boys really like them. I can easily turn them into a special weekend breakfast with this recipe. Yum. Pinned!
My family goes crazy over English Muffins so I knew English Muffins made into French Toast and dredged in cinnamon sugar would be a hit!
I waffles mine and used creamy cinnamon syrup. Heaven at 8 am
You can’t beat a taste of heaven first thing in the morning!
