i changed up the recipe a little. for the french toast topping i just made french toast batter with cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg, maple syrup and the milk and egg because i didn't have the cinnamon swirl bread. i also baked the muffins for about 20 minutes before adding the batter to the muffins and letting them finish baking (about 5-10 minutes) instead of adding it before baking.

French Toast Topping
3 tablespoons milk
1 Land O Lakes® All-Natural Egg, slightly beaten
6 slices (3 1/2 cups) cinnamon swirl bread, crusts trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Muffins
1 cup milk
1/2 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, melted
1 Land O Lakes® All-Natural Egg, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon maple flavoring
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Sugar Topping
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions
Heat oven to 375°F. Combine all French toast topping ingredients in medium bowl; set aside.

Combine 1 cup milk, melted butter, 1 egg and maple flavoring in another medium bowl. Combine all remaining muffin ingredients in large bowl. Stir milk mixture into flour mixture just until mixed.

Spoon batter evenly into greased 12-cup muffin pan cups. Spoon French toast topping evenly over batter; press down slightly. Bake 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Immediately brush muffins with maple syrup. Combine sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Sprinkle over glazed muffins. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan. Serve warm.
